Based on his inmate report, Blueface was booked on charges of attempted murder, using a deadly weapon, and discharging a gun into an occupied structure, vehicle, or craft. He was scheduled to be arraigned on Wednesday. The 25-year-old was also booked for operating an unregistered vehicle, trailer, or semi.
TMZ was able to obtain video footage of the actual arrest.
The footage shows Blueface and Chrisean on a bench while looking at their phones. In a sudden movement, a team of undercover police officers rushed over to him and threw him against the wall as they arrested him on an open warrant.
The person who recorded the video is just as shocked and thought he was being robbed. You can hear him asking why they had to rush him in the fashion that they did. He is then seen being helped up and handcuffed as the police officers take him to their vehicle.
Chrisean Rock took to social media to let her followers know that despite the recent event, she would stick beside her boo.
“Ni**as never left me when I went in,” Rock said. “I’m going to court tomorrow and that’s all that matters.”
