Boosie Spends Night In Jail After On-Stage Vandalism Charges
Boosie Badazz arrested more than a week after police say he trashed State Farm Arena stage following Legendz of the Streets stage show.
ATLANTA — Rapper Boosie Badazz was arrested Monday on a number of charges related to an on-stage fight earlier this month at State Farm Arena, authorities said.
According to Fulton County Jail records, the artist whose off-stage name is Torence Ivy Hatch, Jr., was charged with two felony counts of second-degree criminal damage to property, and one count each of inciting a riot, disorderly conduct and criminal trespassing — all misdemeanors.
Boosie and his team were appearing at State Farm Arena on Oct. 1 as part of the Legendz of the Street tour. But a brawl broke out on stage, according to reports, and Atlanta Police said Boosie’s entourage rushed the stage, ransacking concert equipment as well as other arena property.
