Recap Of Wright’s Recent Legal Issues
In February 2025, police officers bagged Jonathan Wright in Tarrant County, Texas on weapons charges, which included unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon. By the end of the year, he was sentenced to one year in prison. He served that term until Sept. 2026, when he was released on the 24th. Then, last month on Oct. 22, cops booked him in Dallas County for an assault charge. He later seemed to address the arrest saying on social media, “Can’t nobody trick me out my spot after doing a year in prison y’all think I’m let some get me in jail.”
