(Gossip-Grind News) Rick Ross Released From Jail After Posting $2 Million Bond:

Music mogul Rick Ross was finally released from jail Wednesday (July 1). The rapper was granted a bond for $ 2 million, after spending 7 days behind bars, on kidnapping and assault charges.

Ross, whose real name is William Roberts, agreed to forfeit ownership of his $5 million Fayetteville property if he violates the conditions of his bond by intimidating a witness or obstructing justice, Channel 2 Action News reported.

Ross, 39, was arrested on June 24 after allegedly assaulting two service workers who reportedly threw a birthday party at the rapper’s 235-acre Fayetteville estate without his consent, according to Channel 2.

The incident allegedly occurred on June 4 at Ross’ suburban Atlanta home, formerly owned by boxer Evander Holyfield. He and his 42-year-old bodyguard, Nadrian James, are accused of taking two workers into the guest house on his property and attacking them, one of which Ross allegedly beat in the head and face with a Glock handgun. The man suffered extensive injuries, including two chipped teeth and a neck injury.

“The victim lost use of his jaw and is restricted to soft foods and liquid diet only as a result of not being able to chew food,” arrest warrants state.

Both Ross and James were charged with kidnapping and aggravated battery. Ross was additionally charged with aggravated assault and both men were booked into the county jail, where James will remain until Aug. 13 pending a hearing. (AJC)
