Was Gunplay Arrested Ever Before?
An arrest warrant was obtained for Gunplay when it was claimed that in 2012 he made a gun threat on Turron Woodside, his tax accountant. He turned himself into the police, although he was placed under home arrest at the time.
The matter was to go to trial the following year, but Turron declined to take part, therefore, the case was dismissed. The fact that Gunplay was not in the city when the trial started was also revealed by his relatives.
