ATLANTA (AP) — Rapper Rod Wave is facing more than a dozen charges, including several involving a firearm, after turning himself in to Georgia authorities on Tuesday.

Rod Wave, whose real name is Rodarius Green, willingly reported to the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office. The charges are linked to an incident that occurred on April 21 in Milton, a suburb of Atlanta, according to local police.

A police report acquired by the AP reveals that officers discovered luxury vehicles damaged by bullets and signs of a break-in at a residence within one of Georgia’s upscale communities. However, the report does not clarify the specific reasons behind the numerous charges against the rapper.

“There is no truth to these charges,” the rapper’s lawyers Drew Findling and Marissa Goldberg said in a statement to The Associated Press.

“Rod Green was a victim of a burglary and committed no crimes,” they said. “How he was even charged as a result of this situation is incomprehensible. This will absolutely be resolved favorably to Mr. Green.”

On April 21, Milton police responded to a home in the town north of Atlanta after a 911 report described “a possible domestic disturbance,” police said in a statement. A neighbor had heard yelling and screaming, and saw a woman crying, officers wrote in their initial report.

Officers determined that the call was related to a previously unreported burglary and the discharge of a firearm at the location, police said. They later obtained arrest warrants for Green, who lived there.

The charges include aggravated assault, conspiracy to commit a felony, criminal damage to property and pointing or aiming a gun at someone, Fulton County Jail records show. He’s also accused of tampering with evidence — a felony — and obstruction of law officers.

An initial police report obtained by the AP describes what officers found at the home when they arrived April 21. A gold Mercedes SUV had multiple bullet holes in it, and a black Rolls-Royce vehicle had a single bullet hole, the report said.

“In the basement, we found a large safe that had been dragged across the floor, opened, and emptied,” an officer wrote.

Green’s girlfriend told officers that she had returned home and found that the house appeared to have been burglarized. In the back of the home near the swimming pool, officers found a broken window and a hammer in a bush next to it. A black Glock handgun was also found at the scene, officers wrote.

The initial report does not list any suspects who might have broken in, emptied the safe or shot the vehicles, nor does it accuse Green of committing any crimes.

Green was released on bond shortly after turning himself in on the same day, Tuesday, authorities said.

The 26-year-old Florida rapper is celebrated for his soul-trap sound, a unique melding of R&B and rap that has earned him 11 singles certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. Four of his six albums hit No. 1 on Billboard’s top R&B/hip-hop albums chart, including his most recent, 2024’s “Last Lap.”

This year, he contributed the sing-song title track rap “Sinners” to Ryan Coogler’s record-breaking, critically acclaimed blockbuster of the same name.

Green grew up in St. Petersburg, Florida, where he has had at least one past scrape with the law before a domestic battery charge was dismissed in 2022.

An ex-girlfriend had accused Green of entering her home in the Orlando area and choking her while their two children were in another room, according to an arrest warrant. The two had dated for about four years, and the girlfriend told investigators that Green accused her of seeing other men while they were broken up.

Prosecutors later told court officials that the case was not suitable for prosecution.
