Here’s What Happened With Rod Wave In Florida
On Wednesday, April 3, The Shade Room obtained Florida booking records, which show that Rod Wave is in police custody. To note, the rapper’s government name, Rodarius Green, is listed on the booking record.
Additionally, it shows that the 25-year-old is facing a charge of possession of ammunition by a convicted felon.
Furthermore, the record notes that Rod Wave was arrested on April 3.
According to Rap-Up , the rapper was reportedly apprehended in Pinellas County, Florida, after allegedly fleeing police.
Furthermore, on Wednesday afternoon, the singer’s attorneys, Bradford Cohen and Mark Rankin, shared an exclusive statement with TMZ . The attorneys made it clear that Wave is not a convicted felon.
“The officers that made the arrest are incorrect. He is not a convicted felon and has never been a convicted felon. We would have hoped additional research would have been done prior to them filing these charges,” the statement reads. “As with any case we will hold those parties that made the error accountable for their actions.”
The outlet adds that Wave has allegedly been released from jail “on his own recognizance.” However, records still state that he is in custody.

According to Billboard , in May 2022, Rod Wave was arrested in St Petersburg, Florida, in connection to an incident that allegedly occurred the month before. The outlet reports that Wave was accused of entering his girlfriend’s home on April 24, 2022, and choking her.
The singer was reportedly booked into the Pinellas County Jail.
However, the singer’s attorney, Bradford M. Cohen, reportedly called the incident a “misunderstanding.” Furthermore, the charges against the singer were ultimately dropped.
“That misunderstanding resulted in Mr. Green’s arrest,” Cohen told Pitchfork via email. “After review of the evidence and speaking with witnesses, the State entered a Nolle Pross/ No Info on the matter and will not be pursuing charges.”
