AceShowbiz - Fetty Wap just got into another trouble with the law. The rapper is reported to have been involved in a fight with a valet at the Mirage Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas that landed him in prison on Sunday night, September 1.
According to TMZ, law enforcement sources confirm the 28-year-old hip-hop star got into a dispute with one of the valets at the casino. Things allegedly got physical and Fetty threw at least three punches on the valet.
Another Mirage staffer reportedly made a citizen's arrest and held Fetty until Las Vegas Metro PD showed up and took him into custody. The New Jersey rapper was booked for three counts of misdemeanor battery, one for each punch he's accused of landing. He was released after being held in custody for a few hours.
Details are currently not available of what caused the dispute, while Fetty's attorney and representative have not commented on his arrest.
The singer/songwriter, who rose to prominence with his debut single "Trap Queen", was arrested in March 2017 for drunk driving. He was pulled over after cops saw him racing another driver and driving his 2015 Mercedes at 100 miles per hour in a 50 MPH zone on a highway in New York City. His New Jersey driver's license expired and he failed a field sobriety test. His alcohol level was .09, which was above the legal limit.
He was arrested for 15 charges, including reckless endangerment, drag racing, DUI, driving without a valid license, unsafe lane changing, aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, following too close, and speeding.
In January 2018, however, his 15 charges were reduced to 2 and he avoided jail time after pleading guilty to driving while intoxicated and reckless endangerment. As part of his plea deal, he had to pay a $500 fine and attend 14 hours of impaired driving education.
