This past weekend, news surfaced noting that rapper Polo G was arrested in Miami, along with his brother, girlfriend, and security team. The details on the arrest were limited, but now it has been noted that Polo G was arrested for allegedly attacking a cop. Along with that, the police reportedly found two guns on him.
The arrest affidavit that surfaced says Polo G was pulled over because of the blackout tints on his vehicle. The situation reportedly got tense when the rapper was asked to lower his window by police, with the cops claiming they heard someone say the car was bulletproof.
The cops reportedly asked if there were any firearms in the vehicle, with no response, which led them to ask everyone to get out of the vehicle. From there, Polo G allegedly said, “F*** you, what the f*** do I have to get out of the vehicle for?” The police then tried to forcefully remove the rapper from the vehicle, which led to an alleged scuffle while police tried to place handcuffs on him.
Cops claim that after getting handcuffs on the rapper, he allegedly kicked the rear interior door and window of the cop car. Along with that, they claim they found two handguns located in a black bag that was in Polo G’s SUV. Stay tuned for more updates.
