Rapper Polo G was trending online yesterday after the LAPD raided his home in Los Angeles.
Police say they arrested four robbery suspects, including the rapper. Pictures of Polo G with his arms raised outside his property and him being handcuffed by officers in front of a police vehicle went viral.
Fans were worried about the rapper but TMZ talked with his attorney who issued the following statement:
“Polo is being held under the guise that the police department needs to double check that he is not a convicted felon as there was a purported firearm found in the home. He is not and never was a convicted felon. Any previous charges he had I got dismissed and it’s all public record,” said Bradford Cohen.
His attorney added that he has not been able to speak with his client and the cops are not allowing him access.
Speaking to XXL, Cohen said: “The incident surrounded someone staying in Polo’s home and not Polo directly. The officers have detained Polo to ‘verify’ that he is not a convicted felon, as they assert a firearm was found in the home. It is widely known that Polo is not a convicted felon and never was a convicted felon. I personally got all his charges in Miami dismissed when he was in our opinion wrongfully arrested and charged. They have refused to allow us access to our client which is also an illegal and unethical practice and someone will have to answer for these new wrongful actions.”
