In a recent turn of events, rapper Polo G found himself in legal trouble as he was apprehended during a home raid conducted by Los Angeles authorities. The incident unfolded on Wednesday (August 23), resulting in the arrest of both Polo G and his brother.
The situation traces back to a previous incident on August 15, when Polo G’s brother, known by the moniker Trench Baby, was implicated in a robbery case in Granada Hills, California. According to reports from the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), Trench Baby allegedly used a handgun with an extended magazine to coerce the victim into transferring funds to an undisclosed account. This incident prompted detectives to issue an arrest warrant for Trench Baby.
Subsequent investigations unveiled that Trench Baby was residing with Polo G. With the arrest warrant in hand, law enforcement officials executed the warrant on August 23. During the course of the search, police uncovered “numerous firearms” within Polo G’s residence, leading to the arrest of both the rapper and his brother. Trench Baby faced charges related to the robbery, while Polo G was booked for the possession of a short-barreled rifle at the Van Nuys Jail.
Reacting to the situation, Polo G’s legal representative, Bradford Cohen, emphasized that the arrest was centered around verifying Polo G’s criminal record. Cohen shared, “Polo is being held temporarily as authorities review his status to confirm that he is not a convicted felon, as a firearm was reportedly discovered in the residence. It’s important to clarify that Polo G has never been a convicted felon. Any prior charges against him have been successfully dismissed, as can be verified through public records.”
This incident serves as a reminder of the complexities that can arise from legal matters. As Polo G’s legal team addresses the situation, fans and observers are left awaiting further developments in the case.
