American rapper Polo G on Wednesday morning was arrested in a high-voltage drama when the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) raided his California home with a search warrant. Polo G who is originally known as Taurus Tremani Bartlett was handcuffed outside his house by LAPD and was later taken downtown. Now, Polo G's arrest video is doing rounds on social media with fans wondering what the American rapper actually did that he had to come out from his home with raised arms. Therefore apart from Polo G's arrest video, Polo G's arrest reason has also puzzled his followers. To know about Polo G's arrest reason, continue reading below-
What is Polo G's arrest reason?
US media portals quoted an LAPD Spokesperson who informed that four robbery suspects were detained at approximately 8:30 a.m. at a home in Chatsworth, California, which is listed as the rapper’s current home address. The LAPD spokesperson said police had arrived at the property with a search warrant. Although the LAPD did not reveal much, it was Polo G's counsel who informed why the rapper was actually taken downtown. Polo G’s lawyer, Bradford Cohen was quoted saying, "Polo is being held under the guise that the police department needs to double check that he is not a convicted felon as there was a purported firearm found in the home. He is not and never was a convicted felon. Any previous charges he had I got dismissed and it's all public record.”
Another media report quoted saying that the LAPD found an unregistered firearm in Polo G's house. "The incident surrounded someone staying in Polo's home and not Polo directly. The officers have detained Polo to 'verify' that he is not a convicted felon, as they assert a firearm was found in the home. It is widely known that Polo is not a convicted felon and never was a convicted felon...I personally got all his charges in Miami dismissed when he was in our opinion wrongfully arrested and charged. They have refused to allow us access to our client which is also an illegal and unethical practice and someone will have to answer for these new wrongful actions."
It is pertinent to mention here that it is not the first time Polo G has been arrested by the cops. The 24-year-old rapper was arrested in June 2021 in Miami just one day after the release of his album Hall of Fame. As per US media reports, Polo G was charged with three felonies- battery of a police officer, threatening to harm a public servant and resisting a police officer with violence. He was later released on bond, records show.
