Songz’s reported altercation with police on Sunday marks his most recent bout with law enforcement in the past couple of years.
Back in December, the music star hosted a nightclub’s 500-person indoor “Champagne Saturdays” event amid the ongoingcoronavirus pandemic, where attendees allegedly shared drinks, did not wear masks and failed to practice any social distancing, according to authorities.
Songz —who previously tested positive for COVID-19 in October— made the club appearance inside the Ohio nightclub, Aftermath, andPEOPLE confirmedthat the establishment received immediate citations from the Ohio Investigative Unit (OIU) when their agents attended the venue.
Prior to that occurrence, Songz faced another charge forassaulting a police officer back in 2016, when he allegedly threw music equipment and punches from the stage after he was told to end his set, injuring two people — including a police sergeant. He later pled guilty to two misdemeanor charges of disturbing the peace and was sentenced to 18 months probation and had to take anger management classes, according toWDIV.
