Rapper Roddy Ricch Arrested On Gun Charges: Rapper Roddy Ricch was arrested on gun charges in New York on Saturday night, in a surprising turn of events. Along with the rapper, two other males were detained. The incident occurred just days before his scheduled appearance at Citi Field in New York City for the Governor’s Ball concert.
Ricch’s true name is Rodrick Moore, and he was riding in a 2020 Cadillac Escalade with two other guys when they were detained at a private security checkpoint at 6:20 p.m., mere hours before the event, according to Deadline. The guards located a 9 mm gun and a magazine with nine rounds of ammo in the vehicle, according to investigators.
Ricc, a 23-year-old Los Angeles resident, was charged with criminal possession of a firearm, an unlawful feeding device, and possession of a large-capacity ammunition feeding device. All of them are serious offenses in New York, with a maximum punishment of seven years in prison for each count, which can be extended if the offense is criminal.
