Rapper Webbie has been arrested on domestic abuse charges after allegedly holding his live-in girlfriend against her will at a hotel room with his entourage for about two hours on Wednesday (July 5).
According to local television station WVLA, Webbie allegedly physically abused her with a closed fist, an open hand and a belt. She also told authorities that he pinned her on the ground at one point and pushed his knees into her throat so she could not breath for several seconds.
The Advocate reports that she had a fractured nose that left her coughing and spitting up blood. She also had belt whelps up and down her thighs and back. Webbie also allegedly stole her cell phone and damaged the Comfort Inn hotel room where they were staying. Police were called to the scene at 6:26 a.m.
Charges against Webbie include aggravated battery with a dangerous weapon, second-degree battery, domestic abuse by strangulation, false imprisonment, theft and simple criminal damage to property.
The victim told authorities she has lived with him in Atlanta for the past 11 months and that they were visiting Baton Rouge for the Fourth of July weekend, along with members of his entourage. She also said on the arrest report that Gradney had been consuming marijuana and cocaine for the two previous days without sleeping at all, The Advocate reports.
Following the incident, both Webbie and the victim were brought to a local hospital. Webbie was later transported to Parish Prison.
The victim told authorities that this is not the first time Webbie had abused her physically and verbally, but this was her first time reporting it.
