MMG boss, Rick Ross and his bodyguard has reportedly been arrested in Atlanta on charges of Kidnapping, aggravated assault, and aggravated battery. Gawker reports stem from an incident where Ross allegedly pistol-whipped a contractor who was working on his Fayette County mansion. ( A home which, incidentally, was once owned by boxer Evander Holyfield, no stranger to assault charges himself.)
The Associate Press Reports that Ross and his bodyguard initially refused to open the gates of the property to authorities, then cooperated after U.S. Marshals, Jim Joyner and the Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force forcibly opened them. This is Ross's second run-in with the law this month;he was also arrested on charges of Misdemeanor marijuana possession on june 10.
Ross and his bodyguard are currently in jail awaiting a bond hearing.
UPDATE:
Ross and his bodyguard have reportedly been denied bail, and will remain in Fayette County jail for the time being. New information about the charges has also come to light, asPitchfork reports that during the alleged attack, Ross pistol-whipped the man, a groundskeeper, hard enough to break his jaw. He also prevented him from leaving the property, explaining the kidnapping charges.
