R&B singer Sammie was taken into custody in Atlanta earlier this month. His arrest reportedly stems from family violence charges made against him.
According to Atlanta ABC affiliate News 11 Alive, Henry County Jail records show that he was booked on October 19 just before midnight and later released with a bond of just more than $1,000. The station’s website said his charges included third-degree cruelty to children, battery (family violence) and “fugitive in-state.”
News 11 Alive said that it is unclear what led to Sammie’s arrest – and that records don’t indicate his exact date of release. However, he performed as part of ONE Musicfest.
Over the weekend he shared a brief video response to the news of his arrest via Instagram.
“I’mma let God have his say, and the courts have their say,” Sammie said. “And the truth shall set you free.”
