Soulja Boy Arrested for Violating Gun Probation
By Matthew Strauss.
Soulja Boy has been arrested for a violation of probation for having a gun in his home, TMZ reports. His probation stemmed from a January 2014 arrest for illegally carrying a loaded firearm, for which he pled no contest in December 2014. He took a plea deal that included 24 months of probation during which he could not possess any weapons. TMZ reports that today, police searched Soulja Boy’s house after receiving a tip that he “had been threatening people online with guns.” A gun was found in his home, and he was arrested for the probation violation, according to the report.
