\n\tRod Wave<\/a> was arrested on drug and weapons charges in Atlanta last Friday, Nov. 7.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tAccording to Fulton County online jail records, the musician \u2014 real name Rodarius Green \u2014 was booked on two counts of possessing a controlled substance, possession of a firearm or knife, and reckless driving. He was released Saturday, Nov. 8, on an $8,000 bond, his lawyer confirmed.<\/p>\n \n\tIn a statement shared with Rolling Stone<\/em>, Green\u2019s lawyers \u2014 Drew Findling, Marissa Goldberg, and Zack Findling \u2014 said the musician was \u201cunjustly profiled and unlawfully arrested.\u201d They claimed the arresting officer was part of the Atlanta Police Department\u2019s \u201ccontroversial Crime Suppression Unit \u2014 a group known for its aggressive tactics and emphasis on high arrest numbers rather than genuine public safety.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThe statement continued: \u201cMr. Green was targeted as part of this quota-driven approach, a practice that undermines justice and erodes community trust. We look forward to vigorously challenging this baseless arrest and the clear violations of Mr. Green\u2019s rights in court.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThe Atlanta Police Department did not immediately return Rolling Stone<\/em>\u2019s request for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tGreen was notably arrested the same day he earned his first Grammy nomination<\/a>. He was nominated in Best Song Written for Visual Media for \u201cSinners,\u201d which he contributed<\/a> to Ryan Coogler\u2019s smash film of the same name<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tBack in May and June, the Fulton County Sheriff\u2019s Office arrested Green<\/a> on numerous charges, including aggravated assault, possessing and aiming a gun at someone, reckless conduct, conspiracy to commit a felony, simple assault, and battery. At the time, Green was released on a $50,000 bond, and his lawyer denied the accusations.\u00a0<\/p>\n
