Polo G was arrested on Saturday (June 12th) in Miami on several charges, including battery on a police officer, resisting arrest with violence and criminal mischief.
According to Uproxx, the rapper, born Taurus Bartlett, was booked into Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center after an album release party. Polo G and his mom/manager Stacia Mac, were riding in a vehicle after the party when cops pulled them over. This resulted in the rapper being arrested.
According to the arrest report, when cops attempted to handcuff the rapper, an altercation ensued between Polo G and officer Brandon Carrero and Joseph Acuna “ended up in a struggle on the ground,” with the rapper striking the officer in the head, chin, forehead, and cheek during the incident.
Once Polo G was placed under arrest, he allegedly threatened the officer, saying, “I will kill you, I swear I will use these fists to beat the sh*t out of you and knock your a** out.”
Polo was charged with battery against a police officer, public servant/influence performance threat, resisting an officer with violence, resisting an officer without violence, and criminal mischief.
Polo G was later released after posting a $19,500 bond.
POLO G'S MOM SPEAKS OUT
Polo G's mom later addressed her son's arrest on social media, saying, “None of these charges would be possible if the POLICE did not make contact with my son Polo G!!! He was NOT the driver. He was a PASSENGER in a professionally licensed vehicle with security. He was moving smart and correctly. What more could he have done.”
