Lil Uzi Vert Arrested Following Dirt Bike Chase in Atlanta
Lil Uzi Vert was reportedly arrested after a dirt bike chase with Atlanta police, TMZ is reporting.
The Philly rapper was in Atlanta riding dirt bikes with a friend. According to the police report obtained by TMZ, Uzi and company were riding their bikes last Thursday night without lights or helmets. The pair allegedly raced the wrong way down a one-way, drove on a sidewalk and crossed five traffic lanes without signaling.
The police also said that Uzi was trying to speed away from officers on the bike, but lost his balance and wiped out. The two then tried to make a run for it on foot, but were caught by the police. Uzi was booked for obstruction, reckless driving, not having a driver’s license, and some more traffic violations. He was released Friday on a $6,500 bond.
Uzi has not made any public comments about the arrest. We’ll continue to update the story when more details are made available.
