AceShowbiz - SpotemGottem once again got into trouble with the law. More than a year after his last arrest, the "Beat Box" hitmaker reportedly was taken into custody following a high-speed chase in Miami.
The 21-year-old was arrested after fleeing from officers of the Miami-Dade Police Department during a traffic stop on Tuesday, July 18. According to WSVN 7, he was initially stopped after police noticed a Corvette with tinted windows.
When officers approached the rapper's car, he allegedly accelerated and drove off. The attempt to escape didn't work though since he collided with another vehicle. He later tried to walk away and hid inside a nearby shed. Still, police managed to catch him.
Upon searching SpotemGottem's vehicle, officers discovered one Glock 23 with an illegally modified automatic sear, one extended .40-caliber gun magazine with 19 rounds of ammunition and a loose .40-caliber round. Making matters worse, the musician did not have a concealed weapons permit and was driving with a suspended license.
Thus, SpotemGottem was arrested and hit with multiple charges. They included possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, burglary, eluding the police, possession of a short barrel shotgun, rifle or machine gun and resisting a police officer. He, however, is reportedly out after posting a $22,000 bail.
This was not the first time SpotemGottem was involved in a police chase. In June 2022, he was speeding on a black and orange Sea-Doo jet ski in a restricted zone with posted signs. When a police officer tried to pull him over, the emcee allegedly took off, swerving through anchored boats and swimmers near the area.
The officer reportedly tried to stop SpotemGottem using lights and sirens, but he continued to ride away. The hip-hop star, however, was eventually stopped and arrested by Miami Police.
