Rapper Rick Ross arrested again for kidnapping, assault charges

Rapper Rick Ross was taken into custody Wednesday by a U.S. Marshals Service fugitive task force and sheriff’s deputies at the mansion in Fayette County, south of Atlanta.

Ross is accused of forcing a man into a guesthouse at his suburban-Atlanta mansion and beating him in the head with a handgun, chipping his teeth and mangling his jaw so badly that he’s unable to chew food, authorities say in court records.

Ross whose real name is William Roberts was jailed without bail on kidnapping, aggravated assault and aggravated battery charges, said Jim Joyner, a supervisor with the Marshals Service task force.

Ross’ bodyguard, 42-year-old Nadrian James, faces kidnapping and aggravated battery charges stemming from the same incident, arrest warrants state.

The June 7 attack left the man with injuries that included two chipped teeth and a neck injury, authorities said.

“The victim lost use of his jaw and is restricted to soft foods and liquid diet only as a result of not being able to chew food,” an arrest warrant states.

Ross and James are both accused of forcing the man into the guesthouse, down a hallway and into a bedroom, resulting in the kidnapping charges. Both are also accused of assaulting him.
