Details on Boosie’s Texas arrest warrant
KXAN reports that Boosie, born Torence Hatch, faces a theft of service charge ranging from $2,500 to $30,000. The charge filed on August 29 stems from an incident in June where Boosie allegedly failed to pay for chauffeur services he received over the course of several days.
KXAN also revealed that the driver repeatedly asked Boosie and his management about payment. Eventually, the driver sent the Louisiana rapper an invoice for $8,800, which he claims he never received.
The Lawyer notes that someone reached out on June 5 to request a Sprinter van to pick up the “Wipe Me Down” emcee and others at the Austin airport that same day. The car service company was not given an itinerary, but ended up taking Boosie and his crew to various locations and activities over the course of three days.
AllHipHop adds that Boosie praised the driver’s services and shared a promotional video for the business on Instagram.
In response, the driver expressed gratitude and mentioned that he had offered Boosie a “good price.” The “Set It Off” artist then proposed that the company deduct the cost of the promotional video, and the driver reportedly agreed to “work something out.”
However, the driver later told police that there was no situation where the promotional video would completely cover the cost of the service. He added that he had never had such arrangements with any customer.
The driver also shared screenshots of messages where he requested the services and mentioned that payment would be made in cash.
Authorities issued the warrant for Boosie in connection with the incident on Friday (September 20), and he is scheduled to appear in court in Travis County on October 28.
