He starred in the movie ‘Notorious,’ playing the Notorious B.I.G., but now he’s starring in his own personal drama. Actor and rapper Jamal “Gravy” Woolard ended up in handcuffs on Saturday (June 7), after his stepson called police to report an act of domestic violence.
According to TMZ, the 15-year-old said, “Dad hit mom,” quickly bringing authorities to their Georgia home. Woolard’s wife allegedly told her son to call the police.
This isn’t Gravy’s first time making national news. In 2006, he was shot at New York’s Hot 97′s radio station after an altercation took place. His music was banned from the station afterwards. And in 2008, he was arrested for allegedly slapping his wife, Trina Younger, but denied the charges.
At this time, Woolard has been charged with simple assault, battery and cruelty to children. Stay tuned for more details.
