Details Regarding Jacquees’ Arrest

According to the outlet, the singer, whose government name is Rodriquez Jacquees Broadnax, was booked into Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office on Friday, June 23.

Additionally, the singer was reportedly released after posting a $40 cash bond seven hours after his arrest.

The charges associated with Jacquees’ arrest are reportedly both “misdemeanors in the state of Georgia.”

According to WSBTV, the 29-year-old was seen being “loud and boisterous” at the Mall of Georgia on Friday. Additionally, the artist was also seen “drunk and fighting with security.”

While Jacquees was present at the mall, he also allegedly  “choked” and “bit” a female mall employee on her hand.

After police located the singer in the mall’s parking lot, he reportedly tried to flee in his Ferarri. However, he was stopped by officers who used a “stun gun” on the singer.

According to the outlet, the singer’s relationship with the alleged female victim remains unclear.
