Atlanta rapper OJ da Juiceman, born Otis Whitfield Williams, was recently arrested by Georgia State Patrol (GSP) and hit with a whopping 10 charges, including both felonies and misdemeanors.
Sources close to the rapper told Hollywood Unlocked about his recent run-in with police in ATL. And according to online jail records, police arrested OJ da Juiceman and booked him on March 16 at 3:08 p.m. for an incident that occurred on January 28 around 2:15 p.m.
According criminal warrants obtained by HU, a GSP trooper busted the rapper as they both merged into an HOV lane on I-20 East in Atlanta. OJ, who was allegedly driving a 2024 Nissan Altima, allegedly began tailing and honking his horn.
While allegedly pointing a black handgun at the trooper, OJ passed and sped off. The trooper claimed he caught up to the rapper, who again allegedly pointed his gun at him and sped off. After an investigation, authorities identified OJ and the car, and issued warrants for his arrest last month, resulting in last week’s arrest.
