In a statement to media Scareface writes,
“First and foremost I would like to thank my supporters for their concern during my recent arrest in Atlanta.”
“While we have resolved the issue I would like to correct some misinformation. The amount reported that was owed is inaccurate and I had no knowledge about there being an arrest order for me as I have traveled to Atlanta many times; with the latest trip being in September to perform at the One Music Festival. Due to the nature of the case (having a minor child involved), I will make no further comment at this time.”Scareface was released from jail October 16.
Fun fact: Back in 2011 Scarface was locked up for nearly a year for back child support [click here if you missed that].
