According to Fresh (via AJC.com)
Rapper GUCCI MANE, who was supposed to be in drug rehab last we heard, has been arrested again.
This time he is charged with driving on the wrong side of the road, running a red light or stop sign, damage to government property, obstruction, no license, no proof of INSURANCE and other traffic charges, according to APD spokesman Curtis Davenport.
Officers who arrested Mane, who is also known as Radric Davis, Tuesday reportedly had to use pepper spray to subdue him. He was taken first to Grady Memorial Hospital to be checked before he can be transported to the Fulton County Jail.
Mane’s arrest comes just a few months after he was he was released from the Fulton County Jail for violating his parole. Records show he has been in the Fulton County Jail at least five times since 2005 on drug, aggravated assault or aggravated assault with a deadly weapon charges.
It’s too bad Gucci won’t be a part of the Hip Hop welcome wagon when rapper Lil Wayne is released from prison on Thursday.
