Report alleges Fetty Wap punched guard 3 times in Las Vegas
A Las Vegas police report released to the Review-Journal on Tuesday confirmed that rapper Fetty Wap was arrested on the Strip in early September after allegedly punching a security guard three times.
Police arrested the 28-year-old performer, whose real name is Willie Maxwell II, about 8:30 a.m. Sept. 1. According to a citizen’s arrest form, a security officer was called to the main valet area of The Mirage about 6:10 a.m. to “break up a fight.”
The security officer wrote that after arriving, Maxwell punched him three times in the face. The security officer and his “coworker” then restrained Maxwell, who continued to kick at the security officers, the report said.
Maxwell faces three misdemeanor charges of battery. He was released from custody Sept. 1 on his own recognizance, court records show.
He is due in Las Vegas Justice Court on Oct. 31.
Further information about his arrest was not available.
