Jacquees Has Had Previous Run-Ins With the Law
In addition to his recent arrest, it is worth noting that Jacquees has had a previous encounter with law enforcement.
In May of 2018, the acclaimed singer, known for hits like “Woman’s Worth,” was taken into custody for various charges after police recorded him driving at a speed of 116 MPH in Atlanta.
The incident occurred around 3 a.m., with Jacquees behind the wheel of a 2007 Bentley Continental on Interstate 85 Northbound.
As authorities attempted to pull him over, it was alleged that Jacquees discarded an object from his car window.
Subsequent investigation revealed that the discarded item was three grams of marijuana.
Consequently, the artist faced charges of speeding, reckless driving, littering, and possession of a controlled substance.
