Charges dismissed against rapper Gucci ManeRapper Gucci Mane was arrested in Atlanta Tuesday for violating a number of traffic laws, in addition to other charges, according to a statement from Atlanta police. Update 12:04 p.m.: According the Fulton County Sheriff's Office, all charges against Gucci have been dismissed for want of prosecution. The rapper was advised by the judge that the charges may be reinstated at a later date. Gucci will be released once the paperwork is processed. An earlier statement explains that an off-duty police officer noticed a white Hummer driving recklessly “at a high rate of speed" around 11:30 a.m. Tuesday. When on-duty officers located the vehicle parked in front of a business, Gucci Mane – also known as Radric Davis – was having a verbal dispute with someone else, and although police warned the two to back away from each other, Gucci Mane assaulted the other individual, the statement said.
Police sprayed the rapper with pepper spray in order to break up the altercation. Gucci tried to resist arrest, but was taken into custody at Fulton County Jail – the same jail that he’d been released from just a few months ago after doing a stint for parole violation, reports the Atlanta Journal Constitution. Gucci faced charges of reckless driving; driving on the wrong side of the road; driving without a license; running a red light or a stop sign; obstruction of officers; damaging government property; and failure to maintain lane, according to the statement from police.

What a marvelous post! I am just starting out in community management/marketing media and trying to learn how to do it well – resources like this article are quite helpful. As our company is based in the United States, it's all a bit new to us. The example above is something that I worry about as well, how to show your own genuine enthusiasm and share the fact that your product is beneficial in that case.
i love gucci so much dat is my bby. i wish that i can meet him again n ima get his name tatted
damb gucci u gt slow down
Gucci Mane....he must be Italian, right? That's why they let him off....mafia ties.
Stop being haters!!!!! You only wish you could be like him and the rest of the rappers. Millions of dollars and anything you want, because we all know that money can buy anything. Look at the republicans and how they won their elections. Money is the root of all evil !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CHARGES HAVE BEEN DROPPED!!!
This shows you how our police force is corrupt. If you got money and you pay the lawyers, the layers then will pay the police and the judges and drop all the charges. Now if a normal person like you and me had the charges we would have been locked up and f'd. Sooooo GUCCI all up to u. POLICE F U
Gucci Lover!!! I LOVE u Gucci Mane, u rock... I haven't came across a song I've disliked, wonder which Gucci u guys r listening to?!?!
I don't understand why u guys are so quick to judge someone by what u read? IT'S GUCCI!!!
most of you got money illegally to buy property investments,,many of you are police and government types who are criminally negligent.
Y'all do realize that the comment section under an entertainment article about a rapper named Gucci Mane is where you are arguing, right? The most obvious and appropriate place for serious discourse amongst afluent people with important things to to.
Awesome spelling moron.
shut up
furthermore you're trying to keep me moving into another building so you can play games on me and other tenants in another buiding each time. no one has landlord rights frankly and you have no taxation or energy rights money either.
you're always making trouble for those operating legally and honestly and causing antagonistic behaviour so you can take take take
all of u racist people should be quiet. u guys talk but cant back it up. u whites out there have the most stereotypes i've ever heard of. clearly it was taught by ur western parents
arguments that amputation is best because it takes to long to correct the problems is a lie. because you're all taking all kinds of patients time to run them around through hoops to work on some nonsense game medical service instead of giving the efficient curing treatments each time practically. it's not about rehab costs and such in those other cases. theresa noelle younan ymma-iii i-pic . it's just about making more cripple games to leach from again and again.
my comments were about cyanosis in medication ingredients and milk and about amputation happy medical people when bones are needed to regenerate tissue and more in that of detail importance. there old information of mine that i've been further verifying and proving and expanding upon. theresa noelle younan ymma-iii i-pic interpole galactica y-research management
noone else works on my company work but me you can't redirect my information to appear somewhere in verbal broadcast or otherwise as if it belongs to someone else. you post what i sent you right now. all of it you dog theresa noelle younan ymma-iii i-pic interpole galactica y-research management
go naked to prison right now for sabotaging my public court evidence with forensic and important intelligence science discovery property. go out naked on all fours, all of you involved in that ymma-iii interpole galactica
is it who et a cat, or what did the cat et. (etiquette)
With reference to the word dude usually used by country rural people when they talk to city people but not always in that direction. The word comes from my mother's expression though i'm not sure if it is hers originally but probably;she comments when you look lazy or not interested that you're acting like a cat that ate worms. dude is worms. or more accurately maggots. theresa noelle younan ymma-iii i-pic interpole galactica y-research management , hence the other close expression of maggot head types.
gucci sucks idk how his sorry ass had got a record deal
And of course.. because he is a wealthy rapper... he doesn't even get prosecuted for it.
I'm sure he will be on the straight and narrow from now on.
I'm glad he is in jail. Hopefully he stabs another worthless person in jail and gets life. Or better yet, someone stabs him. His music is garbage and he adds nothing to society.
you shouldn't wish bad luck on people didn't you learn that when you were little. if u hate him so much why do u comment on a post about him. whatever he does that is something he has to deal with nobody else can judge him. at the end of the day he still making money.
i loves da game Monoply yo yo yo, word to ya mama bro
peace out fool
A wise man once told me the game's the game. I want to give thanks to all the haters out there. It brings me great pleasure to know that you let a rapper (and black people in general) pull the strings in your life. In my 31 years on this earth not once have I seen a black person hate on white people's music. Why? Because if we dont like your music we turn it off, simple as that. But with black music white people will sit there and listen to something that they claim to hate. Thats funny. To all the real dudes out there let these haters hate. THE WORLD IS YOURS. If one article about a rapper can get white people this mad all it shows is who really controls your life. You should never give any man that much power. What up Gucci, keep pulling the strings on these fools. Cause when all is said and done they cant stop the game.
anciently i am the western hemisphere natives, but anciently also the asian/chinese countries infiltrated that native group and that is why they developed somewhat asian eyes sometimes, etc. i've been as the phoenician leader (and dominant important historical race always battling the chinese and their alliance groups. actually the natives of north and south america are supposed look like relatives of mine a lot. theresa noelle younan ymma-iii interpole galactica i-pic y-research management. they have language similarities to mine as well in some of the tribal tongues. plus they have other customs and cultures related to my ancient one which i reclaimed against even my own modern country people
Anyways American rap is (c)rap try listening to Moslem rap its da "bomb"
i'm not sure if, because i didn't ask all those related questions, the mike lalonde who i tried to marry is related to marc lalonde who was a minister of numerous portfolio's in trudeaus cabinet. mike's uncle was killed shortly after i dated him but i don't know which uncle it is. theresa noelle younan ymma-iii i-pic interpole galactica y-research management.
marc lalonde from computer files is also a metis.
why did you edit out my comment witnessing just now. it is true what i just stated and in more than one city in relation to me.
The story should be about the guy with the worlds largest man boobs behind him in the photo.
Caucasion people are not only funny but they smell like cow dung!!! Case closed
I thought I would see some charges that would be hard to prove or something, guess not, must have just flashed some money the way.
Who cares... If you don't know all of the facts, you can't rightfully speak on the "crime". Burrrrr
You know blacks were never slaves on cotton fields anymore than any other group of immigrants and even longtime race groups. they were just employed and paid. they are actually the ones motivating slavery activity on my rights especially they are the jeolous ignorant prejudice race that won't lay off when they're told to leave my rights alone.
theresa noelle younan ymma-iii i-pic interpole galactica y-research management.
this group bothering me here were stimulating perversion on me and children and abductions etc. lots of chinese and other lots of chinese surrounding my doctor as well but nazi and black partnered as well and in the churches. always obstructing my negotiations and banking my money and income which was my legally clean earned right. i psychicly saw that a goony black man actually held the bank account belonging to me. theresa noelle younan ymma-iii i-pic interpole galactica. there was a black staffer game at the CIBC which is the commercial lender giant as well. theresa noelle younan ymma-iii interpole galactica i-pic. y-research management
plus that landlord group here used me to get all kinds of money from pelosi and the stimulus fund but they had no right to it at all. there's other evidence of that. plus they killed many other friends and relatives of my sister and people i know and worked with.
Reading these posts there is obviously a racial and generational gap between those who are participating in this post. For what its worth I believe GM is garbage as a rapper, musician, role model and a person. He contributes nothing to society or mankind. He has no talent, his word play is terrible and obviously makes stupid choices in his personal life. The youth are so beaten over the head with terrible music they have no choice but to like it. The music industry is so saturated with computer gernerated music that all sounds the same and us a consumers tolerate it and contribute to it. If we demand talent, talent will come! The fact that he has money says more about us then him. We made him rich. Back in the day, only truly great music got play. Its all really sad and listening to the youth defend it makes me evem more sad.
fake ass jerry springer people stop hating get a life! Ti/ Gucci or not talking negative abt you guys so stp with the blk thing you know bkk is here and we are coming strong!
He might not be insulting me directly, but the music he creates speaks volumes about what he thinks the normal person can contemplate and understand in a song. Basically he is insulting all of his listeners intelligence by making such simple minded music, and in the end the person doing the buying is actually insulting themselves as well. They just do not realize it.
Why are these fake ass people hating on ti/Gucci man why grow up and get a life! dwb bkk is back beware!
Because they are THUGS. Plain and simple.
That's a sweet chain you got there Gucci Mane...wonder how many kids had to die in Africa to make it..you should place that money in a well diversified portfolio...hahahahaha...like he or any of the gettho clowns that listen to his music would know what that is...bling bling losers
It's too bad the entertainment world enables such bad behavior. That should be a result in termination.
not to mention you don't have to rap and be a thug. you can rap about anything, it's supposed to be creative means of expression, just like all music and art
why is killing people any reason to be proud or famous? and who cares if you're not rich, or don't have a smartphone? lookin up to the wrong things in life. gucci mane would be worthy of respect if he did those things, and was trying to change his life around, trying to prevent people from making the mistakes he did.
those rappers stole their concept from my "rapping out a melody and song" and discussed it at length in different ways. their black mafia rings were next door to me like now then they moved into my apt. building in a nearby unit to trespass and use me more directly. they like regular lyricists use my intelligence to make rapper names for themselves.
theresa noelle younan ymma-iii i-pic interpole galactica y-research management
UMM... WUT?
i love all music if itms good quality music. i feel good rap music is the epitome of intelligent wordplay. gucci's rap is the epitome of ignorance. yes he has a lot of money and is really popular but there is a huge difference between being popular and talented. i.e. jersey shore cast. if you would rather be rich, ignorant, and in jail instead of intelligent and hardworking with good moral fiber living but barely getting by financially, your values are all messed up. there are plenty of rappers that are amazing for pure talent and love of the music and don't have to sling crack or go to jail. i.e. jay-z, ludacris, big boi... yes there are stereotypes of black people (as well as every race), but they're not gonna go away i you keep embracing them and supporting people like gucci. why wouldn't you want to prove not everyone is like their stereotype, and strive to show you're better than that? people aren't hatin on gucci, they are stating the obvious about his actions. just stop to think and use some common sense people. long live rap, long live music, and long live the ambition to be the best person possible in any aspect of life.
Hummm!! I must digress on all comments. I also, must say as a woman of color that "We All" have "Freedom of Speech" such as this rapper who is being headlined right now. He has caused a significant uproar in his own town as well as within ourselves to make us come out of character and to demorolize (demon) us & our childern. We must know that we as parents are our own role models for our children, NOT some self professed rapper who is selfish for his own gain! How far "We" have come to only go back. Wake up "We All have choices" & that's including in the music we listen to!!!

The fortune and luck of Jupiter in Pisces coming through for T.I. and Gucci Mane.
Hip Hop Music is trash these days and he is a main culprit – its people who support this idiot that has driven music into the ground.
He is talentless – just like 95% of the other "artists" emerging in Hip Hop today. Money Driven and doesn't care how bad a song is as long as people buy it, thats all that matters.
Stop supporting such clowns – Hip Hop has hit rock bottom and I don't see it going anywhere as long as this dipstick is at the top of the charts
gucci, you need to calm down man. your music is great and I am a fan.
If you like Gucci Mane try sitting by your toilet and flushing it over and over for entertainment. I noticed that most of the comments backing this turd look like they were written by a 5 year old child. I guess you really have to be a DOLT to enjoy gutter rap.
hip hop is music for extremely dumb people, sorry but its the truth blacks. There are also plenty of retarded whites that try to emulate the POS rappers. They are called wiggers.
You're trying to start a war.
It sure won't be a war of the wits...Anyone that believes what "the_dude" is stating is a lost cause anyway...they aren't worth saving so I say good riddance I hope the swallow their own gun...
STOP hatin' on Gucci.....he still got millions while all you other suckas sit at home/work reading about him and posting comments.....and oh you hip/hop rap music rules....while your a sleep your kids are listening to our music trying to be more like the hip hop stars.....
It is not about hate or about his money. A lot of people have money. So what? Bottom line.....he is a THUG.
Why do people think making large amounts of money is so difficult. If you have a marketable skill then you will make money. In fact, I am making money right now while making fun of Gucci in these comments. The only difference is that I am completely happy with myself and my friends as a person, so therefore I have no need to do stupid things like drive insane on intercity streets, and get into a scuffle with police present. If I had low self esteem and no self respect I could see myself doing something similar to Gucci.
Helena of Troy – I'm not on anyone's side here, BUT maybe it's the use of YOUR ingenious new word "truely"...
Racist grammar dork
I don't know if you are talking about me being racist or grammar dork or her...but the whole point is that she was jumping on someone elses case about grammatical errors but SHE made an error herself...at least she could have her stuff together before correcting someone else. And I clearly stated that I wasn't taking sides.
For those who don't know Gucci and T.I are on the same lable and I'm pretty sure its in their contract somewhere that they must go to jail. Think about it....no other rappers go to jail get out for a month and go back. Or maybe they'er just stupid. burrr!!!
Throw him back in jail where he belongs.
Wow!!!! The hate, stereotyping, and pure ignorance has got to stop people....
He will be in prison soon enough......
Yep. Enjoy your Colt 45 and Funyuns while you can.
Since Gucci got off scott free then T.I shouldn't have to go to jail also and his charges weren't that too damn serious.
I am so sick of hearing about celebrities getting involved with the wrong side of the law. What disturbs me even more is how this effects our younger generation who want to grow up to be just like them. What kind of role model are they???
Shaq's a good role model among plenty of others. Oh, what's with the racist talk? Charlie Sheen and Mel Gibson aren't good role models too.
Cadilac grills, Cadilac bills check out the oil my Hummer spills.
word to yo mama
Not gucci man, you can have ti... this is gross. Oh well hey at least we still have taylor swift and the justin beber to look forward to right?
Damn rappers never learn its like its a damn trophy for these ghetto africants ridiculous
How could I have guessed your tractor riding, sister fcking a$$ was from Nebraska?? Maybe it was the use of your ingenious new word "AFRICANTS?!?!?" You, sir, are truely amazing.
Or maybe it's because he put "Nebraska" in his name.
You made a spelling correction, but you also spelled a word wrong. How ironic is that?!
why the fck are y'all hating on gucci mane? Apparently you guys aren't on his level or else y'all would not even be stereotyping his music. If you listen, he clearly states that he is "hood rich"
I second that..if you don't like his music or him don't listen and don't respond don't hate on the man because his living his life and making money off it......HATERS!
I think most of us are in disbelief that music such as his actually makes revenue. Either way I am fairly sure that it is the same demographic that watch "Jersey Shore" or any other reality TV show programmed to make people less intelligent.
Yall sound real dum ryte now....quit hatin on gucci yal wish he couldn't rap....he's tha hottest out....yal sum str8t haters....free gucci
Hey "j-town de", NEWSFLASH...sounds like "Mucci Gane"(#9 above) got it right and you think it SOUNDS dumb that Gucci Mane waited til the cops got there??? LOL!!! Then why didn't he hit the guy before the po po showed up?
ITS DOUCHIE!!!!!!!!!!
Who?
Haha why are all of you Trailer Park Trash inbreds mad.Lmfao at you clowns. At the end of the day you loser are still living at home.
There might be some type of educational gap between the two of us, but I am pretty sure most people live at home or in a house of some sort. What kind of insult is that?
"Oh no! That poor fellow. He lives at home!
"
This is funny. 99% of rappers can't read music, write music or play an instrument. It's just ebonics set to rhyme. If this guy was a half an ounce dumber, you'd have to water him twice a week. Plant music for plant people.
Sounds like gucci could use a trip to tool academy!
haha! check out Shortbus Shawty on youtube. it is the most accurate impression of Gucci and Waka flocka, and soulja boy. ITS HILARIOUS!!
I wish I could understand that chevy chicks comment, but my hooked on illiterate ebonics tape got lost in the mail! This was a publicity stunt. Traffic violations? Tell that to the peeps in jail Pooci Vain and they will turn you out. You embarrass me rapper boy. You are the reason white people get uncomfortable around African Americans. Thanks for fueling the fire!!!!
Yes, because ALL African Americans are violent and have been to prison at least once in their lives. And ALL African Americans talk "Ebonics" as you so intelligently put it. You are quite possibly one of the dumbest people I've never had the honor and absolute pleasure of meeting. Oh, I'm black by DA way. Idiot.
People are so quick to judge another without knowing all the contributing facts leading up to the situation: ie., personality, psychological state, etc... Just think about nature vs. nurture. Until you walked in someone elses shoes, don't judge.
I am sure they were arguing over if the GOP would take the house back or not!
look at the fat dude in the back... he looks like a mattress with a head!!
LMFAO! I almost choked on my dentures laughing at that!
Dude...I just spit a mouthfull of water on this computer laughing..mattress with a head! 2 funny
He cant rap! He is ugly! BUT!!! He is rich. And for the people talking bad about the guy, please get a life because he got what you tryin to get. Money.
The difference between Gucci and everyone else is that money can be earned by anyone at anytime. This idiot will spend his entire life trying to get respect, and getting none. At least from anyone with half an education, that is.
pretty stupid putting other peoples life in danger on the road just to throw one punch if front of cops
Dang Gucci. Take care
LMAO....that's the dumbest name I've ever heard for a rapper in my life. Nice bling D-bag.
Stop it wit da "gucci mane waited to da police got there to save him b4 he hit ol boy" u sound dumb
Stupid name, stupid music, stupid person, I hope they throw the book at him.
Go to jail already! And you're UGLY!!
Classic!
You can take the boy out of the "hood" and make him a millionaire but you can't take the "hood" out of the boy
You cant take jail out he hood neither when living on the 'down low' or the closet. I think that this country should take behaviors like what GM did seriously and run him through the mill. The Crapper, I mean rapper behavior and the judicial system gives an example of the direction our country is headed.
Can't blame him. I mean he is retarded right? Have you heard him rap?
Sounds like somebody owed somebody sum $$$$$....but c'mon gucci, I'm sure you could have made a phonecall to handle the matter.
burrrr!
Just sad...What a waste. Guch, leave Snow White alone bruh. Free your nose and your mind will follow...
He waited for the cops to come before he punched the guy .. he knew the cops would save him – what a beeeeaaatch !
Dude get your lame azz outta here. Gucci killed dudes before thats why he's famous. He's the only rapper that talks the life and really lived it. You on the other hand is a hater. I'm sure you got no $, no Android or iPhone4, no women, etc. I bet you wouldn't say that he's a B to his face you puzzy
Buff Daddy, yoooze a clown..no android, no iphone...hahaha..what a D-bag...uneducated punk
That's great BuffDaddy, now when is he gonna learn how to rap?
What a duche bag !
how damm stupid is rap crap gonna giv em a slap..anyway????? should all be burned and outlawed with booze...just cheap trash!!!!!
I bet you won't be getting any 'lemon peepa wings and a freeze cup'.
roflmbo *tear*
And he wasn't even charged for it!
and you are who???
Dude assaulted another dude, not in self defense, in front of off-duty cops. Now how stupid is that?
I wish I was a self righteous rapper that makes terrible music. Wait....no I don't.
The only thing I do that is stupid is listen to Gucci's music.
ayo all yall suck hella dick
Radic my hommie. U gotta slow down. I'm a great fan. U cnt make great music from jail.
this guy's music is terrible. I'm a fan of hip hop but the mindless crap he spews cannot even be classified as hip hop – and i bet his stint in county jail is going to end up all over his next album to give this joker "street cred". what a loser.
ahhh just let him hang gucci mane sucks he raps like he has a roll of toilet paper in his mouth
And you can't spell frankie.
if he sucked so bad , why dont you become a rapper and do something better then he has done and maybe you wont be reading articles about him, instead you will have your own, do something with your life before becoming a hater. He has alo fans or he wouldnt have a record deal and he wouldnt be filthy rich.
