Polo G’s Brother Allegedly Robbed A Videographer At Gunpoint

Polo G’s Brother Accused Of Robbing A Videographer At Gunpoint During A Video Shoot

We previously reported that Polo G was arrested in Los Angeles on Wednesday (Aug. 23) while police raided his home, Billboard can confirm.

It all started last week, on August 15, when Polo G’s brother Taurean Bartlett (a.k.a. Trench Baby) was identified as the suspect for a robbery in Granada Hills, California.

According to LAPD reports, when the victim arrived at Taurean’s house to film a music video, the rapper pulled out a “handgun with an extended magazine and demanded that the victim transfer money to an unknown account.”

Detectives then obtained an arrest warrant for Taurean, before discovering that he was living with Polo G. Upon serving the warrant on Wednesday (Aug. 23), police discovered “numerous firearms” at Polo G’s home and arrested both rapper brothers.

Trench Baby was booked for robbery and Polo G was booked for possession of a short-barreled rifle at Van Nuys Jail.

Polo G’s legal team issued a statement in response to the arrest, stating that the rapper and his brother were “targeted” by law police. They claimed that the arrest was improper and that the police lacked proper justification for conducting the search which resulted in the discovery of the guns.

The defense team committed to forcefully defend Polo G and cleanse his name. The legal process, however, is still ongoing, and the outcome is unknown.
