Rapper Young Jeezy was arrested in Atlanta for battery, false imprisonment and making terroristic threats against his son. TMZ reports,

Jeezy got into a fight with his son in a bathroom and pushed him into a glass shower door. Then Jeezy is said to have allegedly punched his son in the face and dragged him across the bedroom floor. The incident report goes to say when his son tried to escape, he was blocked by the rapper's bodyguard. Jeezy's son says that Jeezy also choked him and said, "I will put a bullet through your head" and "If I could get away with it, I would kill you."
Young Jeezy turned himself in on Friday and was released on $45,000 bond. The incident occurred September 2012. Jeezy' son, Jadarius, was 16 at the time.

Update: Young Jeezy denies beating his son, Jadarius, or threatening his life. Instead, he blames his son's mother for setting him up. Jeezy does acknowledge arguing with his son, but he claims it never turned violent. Although, he does admit to shoving Jadarius on the ground when he "got in his face."


According to GA Law: a conviction of simple battery carries a possible jail sentence of up to 12 months or a fine of up to $1,000. A conviction of false imprisonment shall be punished by imprisonment for not less than 1 or more than 10 years. A conviction of terroristic threats shall be punished by a fine of not more than $1,000 or by imprisonment for not less than 1 or more than 5 years, or both.
