US EditionSoulja Boy arrested on suspicion of weapons charge during a traffic stop
LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, AUG 3 – Soulja Boy was arrested after police found a firearm during a traffic stop and booked on suspicion of felon firearm possession, police said.
- On Sunday morning, Soulja Boy, rapper and stage name of DeAndre Cortez Way, was arrested in Melrose after officers spotted a firearm and booked him on suspicion of being in possession of a firearm, according to LAPD.
- Following a civil trial, a Los Angeles court held Soulja Boy liable earlier this year, nearly four months before his arrest on suspicion of weapons possession.
- Online records show he was booked at 6:18 a.m. on a felony weapons charge after police stopped him at Melrose and Genesee avenues, hours after his birthday celebration.
- Neither details about the weapon’s registration nor comment from his representatives have emerged, and no formal charges have been filed amid ongoing investigation.
- Adding to earlier convictions, this arrest underscores a pattern of weapons-related offenses, as he faces legal issues dating back to a 2019 probation violation that led to jail time and community service.
