The 26-year-old rapper, whose real name is Rodarius Green, voluntarily surrendered himself to the Fulton County Sheriff's Office in Georgia on Tuesday, May 20, and was released on bond. He faced warrants from a Monday, April 21, police report in Milton, Ga., according to the Associated Press. His charges include aggravated assault, conspiracy to commit a felony, pointing or aiming gun or pistol, simple assault, two counts of reckless conduct, two counts of criminal damage to property, two counts of willful obstruction of law enforcement officers, two counts of tampering with evidence and two counts of possession of firearm or knife during commission of or attempt to commit certain felonies. Officers reportedly responded to a 911 report of 'a possible domestic disturbance' at Green's Milton home when a neighbor saw a woman crying, and heard yelling and screaming. In the initial police report, officers found a gold Mercedes SUV had multiple bullet holes in it, and a black Rolls-Royce vehicle had a single bullet hole, the report said, per the Associated Press. His girlfriend told the authorities that she returned to the home, which appeared to have been burglarized. Officers allegedly discovered a black handgun, a broken window and a hammer in a bush next to the house's swimming pool. 'In the basement, we found a large safe that had been dragged across the floor, opened, and emptied,' an officer wrote in the report, per the Associated Press. Authorities did not list any suspects who might have broken in, emptied the safe, or shot the vehicles in the initial report. However, officers later obtained arrest warrants for Green. 'There is no truth to these charges,' the rapper's lawyer, Drew Findling, said in a statement obtained by PEOPLE. 'Rod Green was a victim of a burglary and committed no crimes,' Findling continued. 'How he was even charged as a result of this situation is incomprehensible. This will absolutely be resolved favorably to Mr. Green.' Want to keep up with the latest crime coverage?

Rapper Rod Wave faces more than a dozen charges, some involving a gun, in Georgia
ATLANTA -- The rapper known as Rod Wave faces more than a dozen charges, some involving a gun, after he turned himself in to sheriff's officials in Georgia on Tuesday. Wave, whose real name is Rodarius Green, voluntarily surrendered to the Fulton County Sheriff's Office on warrants stemming from an April 21 police call in the Atlanta suburb of Milton, police there said. 'There is no truth to these charges,' the rapper's lawyers Drew Findling and Marissa Goldberg said in a statement to The Associated Press. 'Rod Green was a victim of a burglary and committed no crimes," they said. "How he was even charged as a result of this situation is incomprehensible. This will absolutely be resolved favorably to Mr. Green.' Milton police responded to a home in the town north of Atlanta after a 911 report described 'a possible domestic disturbance,' police said in a statement. Officers determined that the call was related to a previously unreported burglary and the discharge of a firearm at the location, police said. They later obtained arrest warrants for Green, who was a resident of the home. The charges include aggravated assault, conspiracy to commit a felony, criminal damage to property and pointing or aiming a gun at someone, and obstructing law officers, Fulton County Jail records show. He's also accused of tampering with evidence — a felony — and obstructing law officers. He was released on bond shortly after turning himself on the same day, Tuesday, authorities said. The 26-year-old Florida rapper is celebrated for his soul-trap sound, a unique melding of R&B and rap that has earned him 11 singles certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. Four of his six albums hit No. 1 on Billboard's top R&B/hip-hop albums chart, including his most recent, 2024's 'Last Lap.' This year, he contributed the sing-song title track rap 'Sinners' to Ryan Coogler's record-breaking, critically acclaimed blockbuster of the same name. Green grew up in St. Petersburg, Florida, where he has had at least one past scrape with the law before a domestic battery charge was dismissed in 2022. An ex-girlfriend had accused Green of entering her home in the Orlando area and choking her while their two children were in another room, according to an arrest warrant. The two had dated for about four years, and the girlfriend told investigators that Green accused her of seeing other men while they were broken up. Prosecutors later told court officials that the case was not suitable for prosecution. —-
