Rapper Rick Ross is accused of forcing a man into a guesthouse at his suburban-Atlanta mansion and beating him in the head with a handgun, chipping his teeth and mangling his jaw so badly that he's unable to chew food, authorities say in court records.
The MMG boss was arrested Wednesday morning in Fayette County, Georgia and charged with kidnapping, aggravated assault, and aggravated battery. The incident allegedly happened about two weeks ago, according to the Marshals, and it involved a confrontation between Ross and a man doing work at one of his homes, previously owned by Evander Holyfield.
Law enforcement sources tell us the assault charge is for a pistol-whipping, and the kidnapping charge is because the man was allegedly not allowed to leave the house. Ross was picked up at his main residence, along with his bodyguard, and arrested without incident.
The Marshals were contacted a couple of days ago by the Fayette County Sheriff’s Department to assist in the arrest. The Marshals typically assist in high profile and dangerous warrants.
Since Ross travels a lot, the Marshals gathered information about his movements over the course of the past couple of days and decided Wednesday morning at his home was the safest time for the bust.
Two weeks ago, Ross was busted for misdemeanor possession of marijuana, also in Fayette County.
