AceShowbiz - Gunplay has been arrested. The Florida rapper was reportedly taken into custody after violating a restraining order granted to his estranged wife, Vonshae Taylor-Morales.
The 44-year-old got busted on Wednesday, October 25 at 7:10 P.M, according to TMZ Hip Hop. Sources told the outlet that the musician was on his way to Vonshae's home when the Florida Department of Corrections Community Control received a ping from his ankle monitor.
However, police managed to get to Vonshae's property before Gunplay could interact with her. He was then arrested and booked into Miami-Dade County Jail. According to sources, he will remain in jail until his November 7 court date.
This is not the first time Gunplay violated the restraining order. He has done it eight times in total.
Vonshae declared earlier this year that she's filing for divorce from Gunplay after an alleged domestic violence incident during which he reportedly pointed a gun at her while she was holding their baby girl. Addressing the matter, she said, "I just want everyone to know my daughter and I are safe... My daughter safety is my first priority."
Blaming Gunplay's alcohol issue for his erratic behavior, the Afro-Latina influencer claimed, "Unfortunately Richard is back using and developed a very bad drinking problem. I've tried everything in my power to help him and love him." She then lamented, "This is a demon he has to overcome on his own. At this point I really believe it's too late."
"To summarize last night event. I asked Richard to quiet down as he scared the baby sleeping by telling playing call of duty. He started going off on me for asking him to be quiet," she further elaborated. "I tried to collect a bag so my daughter and I can go to a room while he sobers up. He didn't want us to leave and things went left fast."
"He was arrested last night, the weapon is in police custody," she added. "I have a restraining order, my daughter is in my custody and I am filing for divorce. He will never get the chance to disrespect us again. Thank you all for the well wishes and prayers. This is a very traumatizing experience please keep me in your prayers."
