Former record executive and reality star Mickey "Memphitz" Wright is a wanted man after he allegedly stole a phone from a car wash employee in Atlanta.
According to WSBTV, the reality star came to the Club Corners Carwash for a cleaning on Thursday. Harold Huntley, an employee at the business says he got in the car to drive it through the wash. After cleaning the car, Memphiz approached him with claims that he stole marijuana from inside the Jeep. Huntley says he smelled the drug in the car, but didn't take anything.
"He comes back and is like, 'You stole my weed, you stole my weed.' I was like, 'Nah, man,' and then he pulled a gun out on me and was like, 'It's gonna be your life or it's gonna be my weed,'" Huntley said.
Video cameras caught the moment Memphitz tried to attack Huntley. He also took his phone before running away.
"He was like, 'Man just give me the phone, give me the phone. What's it gonna be? Your life or your phone? Is it really that important?'" Huntley said.
Police arrived on the scene to find Memphiz's Jeep, gun and stolen phone a few miles from the car wash. Felony arrest warrants were issued for Memphitz, including aggravated assault and robbery charges. Police want the reality star to turn himself in at the Fulton County Police Department.
Memphiz was once an A&R at Arista Records. He and his wife Toya Wright separated earlier this year.
Huntley was not injured in the incident. See footage of the incident above.
