Earlier this week, singer Rod Wave was arrested on possession of a controlled substance and weapons charges after a traffic stop in Atlanta. According to CBS News, Wave’s legal team claims he was the victim of profiling.
In a statement to CBS News Atlanta, the rapper’s attorneys said that Wave, whose real name is Rodarius Marcell Green, was “unjustly profiled and unlawfully arrested in Atlanta.” Attorneys Drew Findling, Zach Findling, and Marissa Goldberg also claimed that Wave was a victim of the Atlanta Police Department’s Crime SupPression Unit’s “quota-driven approach” to arrests.
“We look forward to vigorously challenging this baseless arrest and the clear violations of Mr. Green’s rights in court,” the attorneys wrote, according to CBS News.
