Rod Wave Faces Arrest for Weapons and Drug Charges

Rapper Rod Wave, known for his emotional and impactful music, faces serious legal troubles following an arrest in Fulton County, Georgia. His detention, which occurred on November 8, 2025, was executed by the Atlanta Police Department.

Details of the Arrest

Rod Wave was charged with several offenses, including:

  • Possession of a firearm or knife while attempting to commit a felony
  • Reckless driving
  • Possession of a Schedule V controlled substance
  • Possession of a Schedule II controlled substance

As of Saturday morning, he remains in custody but is expected to post bond soon. His attorney, Drew Findling, confirmed that Rod Wave’s first court appearance led to an $8,000 bond agreement.

Background Information

At this point, the circumstances surrounding Rod Wave’s latest arrest remain unclear. Earlier this year, he faced significant legal issues. In a separate incident, he was accused of firing his Glock 20 10mm pistol at his residence after a disagreement with realtors. This altercation led to an attempt to flee the scene and broke an active bond order from a past case.

Previous Legal Challenges

This is not Rod Wave’s first encounter with the law. Notable incidents include:

  • Charges for aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during a felony in connection to the earlier incident.
  • Two counts of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon in Florida last year.
  • An arrest in 2022 for alleged domestic violence, which was not prosecuted.

As the legal proceedings unfold, Rod Wave’s career and personal struggles continue to attract public attention. The outcome of his current situation remains to be seen, as fans and critics alike await further developments.
