Desiigner finds himself in legal trouble again, with his second domestic violence arrest this year.
The “Panda” rapper, 29, was arrested on Wednesday afternoon (July 15), per online records from the Horry County (SC) Sheriff’s Office. He is still locked up as of this writing.
WBTW reports that the rapper was allegedly chasing a woman with a hammer. The woman told investigators that the two were arguing about removing TVs from a wall, when the rapper grabbed her phone and destroyed it with a hammer. The woman managed, with her child in tow, to escape to a neighbor’s house, but not before, she said, the rapper threw her down and tossed her purse over a fence.
After that, the rapper allegedly vandalized that neighbor’s vehicles, using a screwdriver and a hammer.
Desiigner has been charged with domestic violence (second degree) and three counts of malicious injury to animals and other personal property, each with a value of between $2,000 and $10,000, which makes each count a felony with a maximum sentence of five years behind bars.
The domestic violence charge and two of the malicious injury charges have no bond set, and the remaining charge has a $1,500 bond.
Complex has reached out to authorities in Horry for more details, but none responded as of this writing. The rapper’s mugshot is visible below.
As mentioned, Desiigner was previously arrested on a domestic violence charge back in March, also in Horry County. The status of that case was not immediately available.
