Rapper Desiigner was arrested Thursday night after being involved in a road rage incident in New York City that resulted in a felony drug and weapons charges, reports TMZ.
The outlet is reporting that law enforcement sources say that people in the SUV got in a screaming fight with the driver of another vehicle, who eventually called 911. The SUV eventually left, but the driver took down the rapper's license plate and when police eventually came he claimed that Desiigner pointed a gun at him.
Shortly after, cops found the SUV, searched it, and found a large quantity of various pills in the car's center console. The law enforcement officials say they found Oxycontin and other drugs.
Desiigner and the four other people, who are still in custody, in his SUV were arrested and charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance and criminal possession of drugs with intent to sell, which are both felonies.
In addition, Desiigner was also charged with felony criminal possession of a loaded weapon and menacing due to the incident with the other driver.
