Besides his music, Gucci Mane was also really well known for his wild antics he did while
being in the limelight.
Whether that was getting an ice cream cone tattooed on his face or attacking people with
pool sticks, people just always knew not to mess with Gucci Mane.
Gucci was arrested approximately 9 times during his hip hop career and spent over 4 years
incarcerated.
Want to know more about Gucci Mane’s 9 arrests that happened during his career?
Well we have you covered.
Here is an exclusive inside look at the criminal history of Gucci Mane.
Gucci Mane’s first documented arrest as a rapper happened on May 19, 2005.
While beefing with rival rapper Young Jeezy, five men attempted to rob Gucci Mane after
Jeezy put a $10,000 bounty on Gucci’s ice cream cone chain in his diss song at Gucci
Mane called “Stay Strapped.”
Reports claim that the 5 men ambushed Gucci but he managed to acquire a gun while scrambling
to defend himself.
Gucci then began to fire at the robbers and ended up killing one of them in the process.
That man was Henry Clark III who was mostly known as Pookie Loc.
The body of Pookie Loc was eventually found three days later at a local middle school.
After the recovery of Pookie Loc’s body, Dekalb County put a warrant out for Gucci
Mane’s arrest.
The charge against Gucci Mane….
Was first degree murder.
On May 29, 2005, Gucci Mane turned himself into Dekalb County Jail where he claimed that
he shot Pookie Loc in self-defense.
Gucci later posted a $100,000 bail on May 24, 2005 and dropped his debut album “Trap
House” the same day.
In January of 2006, the murder charges against Gucci Mane were dropped due to insufficient
evidence.
Gucci Mane’s second arrest occurred in July of 2005.
Authorities say that they arrested Gucci for an assault that happened earlier that month.
Gucci Mane allegedly got in a heated altercation with a club promoter at the offices of Big
Cat Records which was the label that Gucci was signed to back in 2005.
As the argument escalated, Gucci Mane struck the club promoter with a pool stick and continued
to do so after he fell to the ground.
After the arrest, Gucci Mane’s lawyer claimed that accusations against Gucci were false
and that he wasn’t involved in the reported fight.
During sentencing in October of 2005, Gucci Mane pleaded no contest to the charges but
was found guilty.
The two charges Gucci was found guilty for was aggravated assault and aggravated assault
with a deadly weapon.
The Judge sentenced Gucci Mane to six months in prison and six-and-a-half years of probation
following Gucci’s release.
Gucci also agreed to pay for the club promoters medical bills which totaled up to about $3,000.
Here’s a little fun fact: During Gucci Mane’s stay in prison for these charges, Gucci found
out that his murder charge from May was dismissed.
A huge weight was probably lifted off of Gucci Mane’s shoulders when he found out about
this news and it probably made the rest of those six months fly by.
Gucci’s third arrest happened in September of 2008.
As one of Gucci Mane’s punishments for his 2005 assault case, Gucci was ordered to do
600 hours of community service.
Gucci being the hard working man he is, must have not found any time to do this because
he was eventually arrested for only completing twenty-five out of the six-hundred hours of
community service he was ordered to do.
The failure to fulfill those orders made Gucci Mane in violation of his probation and was
ultimately sentenced to six months in Fulton County Jail.
Gucci was released in March of 2009.
Gucci’s fourth arrest happened in November of 2009 when he was due back into court.
At the court hearing, Gucci Mane was found to be in violation of his probation once again
and ended up leaving the courtroom in handcuffs.
Gucci Mane stayed in jail until May of 2010.
During his time in jail, Gucci dropped his first major label album titled “The State
Vs. Radric Davis” on December 8 with the help of Warner Bros Records.
A year after his last arrest, Gucci Mane was arrested for a fifth time after an off-duty
police officer noticed a white hummer driving recklessly down Northside Drive.
The off-duty officer reported what he saw to other police in the area and began to search
for the vehicle.
Local police ended up tracking down the white hummer at a body shop a few miles away.
Inside they came across Gucci Mane and another individual arguing inside.
When the officers attempted to intervene, Gucci Mane ignored the officers and punched
the man he was arguing with.
Officers immediately pepper sprayed Gucci and arrested him on the spot.
Gucci Mane was booked under several charges including, damage to government property,
obstruction, driving without a license, reckless driving, running a red light or stop sign,
failure to maintain a lane, and driving on the wrong side of the road.
The charges were later dropped but Gucci Mane still received another probation violation
for his actions.
In court, Gucci pled mental incompetence to the charges claiming he was in no state to
fight prosecutors.
Gucci Mane was then released while the courts decided on how to proceed with the situation.
This next incident isn’t an arrest but a rather interesting run in with the law that
Gucci Mane experienced.
Apparently in December 2010, Gucci Mane was in chilling at best friend and fellow rapper
Waka Flocka Flame’s house when the police raided Waka’s home.
During the raid, Police found a sleeping Gucci Mane and woke him up from his deep slumber
only to arrest him and later release him without charge.
Not even a month later, Gucci Mane was due back into court to see the outcome of his
mental incompetence plea that he took in November of 2010.
The Superior Court of Georgia’s Fulton County decided that they would send Gucci Mane to
a psychiatric hospital instead of jail.
Gucci was later transported to a “111- bed psychiatric and chemical dependency treatment
facility in Georgia.
During his stay there, Gucci went through a series of mental health tests to determine
his mental state.
Gucci was released about a week later and just days after being released, Gucci would
end up getting his world famous ice cream cone face tattoo.
Gucci’s sixth arrest happened in April of 2011 after a visit with his parole officer.
Sources say that in January of 2011, Gucci Mane approached a woman outside of South DeKalb
Mall in his white hummer and asked if she wanted to get breakfast with him.
The woman who recognized Gucci Mane from the infamous ice cream cone tattoo on his face
accepted Gucci’s generous breakfast offer and entered his hummer.
Gucci Mane then proceeded to offer the woman $150 for s*x and when she refused, Gucci Mane
forced her out of the moving hummer.
At his sentencing on September 13, 2011, Gucci was sentenced to six months in county jail
after he pled guilty to two counts of battery, two counts of reckless conduct, and one count
of disorderly conduct.
Gucci Mane ended up being released early on December 11, due to good behavior.
The woman, Diana Graham, also ended up sueing Gucci Mane and won her settlement in September
of 2012 for an estimated $58,000.
Gucci Mane’s seventh arrest took place in March of 2013.
According to authorities, a soldier named James was at the Harlem Night Club when he
asked Gucci Mane’s security if he could get a photo with the rapper.
Gucci Mane must have been offended by this because he ended up attacking James with a
champagne bottle.
The bottle attack left him with a deep gash and was eventually sent and treated at the
Grady Memorial Hospital.
James needed 10 stitches and suffered from a concussion and bad headaches.
Days later, a warrant was issued by the Atlanta Police and Gucci Mane eventually turned himself
in at the end of March to face the aggravated assault charges head on.
During the court hearing the next day, the judge denied bond for Gucci and was ordered
back in court on April 10.
On the April 10th court day, Gucci Mane was indicted on one count of aggravated assault
and posted a $75,000 bail two days later.
The day after Gucci bailed himself out, he was arrested once again for violating his
parole.
Gucci Mane was sent back to jail and was released three weeks later.
Gucci’s next arrest happened in September of 2013.
Sources say that a friend of Gucci Mane called the police on him after his behavior became
extremely erratic.
When the authorities arrived, Gucci Mane began threatening them and was refusing to go to
jail.
The officers eventually arrested Gucci and discovered marijuana and a handgun in Gucci
Mane’s possession in the process.
Gucci ended up being booked and charged with a concealed weapon, possession of marijuana,
and disorderly conduct.
It's also worth noting that two days before this incident, Gucci Mane’s attorney called
the police on him after he was acting erratically in his attorney's office.
When the officers arrived to remove him from the office, they found a .45 caliber handgun
containing eight rounds of ammunition in Gucci’s possession.
Despite finding the weapon, the police did not charge Gucci since he agreed to calmly
leave the premises.
These situations both happened during the same week Gucci had his infamous twitter rant
and fight inside Lennox Mall in Atlanta.
Anyways, Gucci ended up staying in jail for the concealed weapon, possession of marijuana,
and disorderly conduct charges.
After spending a few months in jail, Gucci Mane had a court hearing where he found out
the sad news that he was being charged in a federal court for two counts of possessing
a firearm as a felon.
At the hearing, the prosecutor mentioned that the charges are being filed due to the two
incidents that happened in September involving two seperate loaded guns.
If found guilty Gucci Mane could receive a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.
In May of 2014, Gucci Mane received a plea deal that would greatly reduce his sentence
if he agrees to plead guilty to the charges.
Gucci accepted the deal and pled guilty to possession of firearms by a convicted felon.
Gucci Mane was expected to serve three years and three months in prison.
On May 26, 2016 after serving almost three years in prison, Gucci Mane was released from
prison ahead of his scheduled release in September.
When Gucci Mane came out of jail his transformation was incredible.
Gucci lost an insane amount of weight and put on a lot muscle while locked up.
Overall Gucci looked like he learned a lot about himself while locked up and came out
a better person.
At the time of this recording, Gucci Mane has stayed out of trouble for over three years
now and even got married to Keyshia Ka’Oir on October 17, 2017.
Gucci is also continuing to work very hard like he always has and plans to stay on the
right path.
