Meek Mill’s assault charge thrown out

-

The 30-year-old rapper was arrested in March and charged with misdemeano­r assault after allegedly having a physical altercatio­n with someone who tried to get a picture of him at St. Louis Internatio­nal Airport in Missouri. However, his lawyer Joe Tacopina told TMZ that he struck a deal for Meek to perform community service at the Veterans Associatio­n in Philadelph­ia, in return for having the charges dropped. And it was recently revealed that Meek’s arrest record will be cleared in his reckless driving case if he stays out of trouble for six months. The star was charged with reckless endangerme­nt after allegedly riding a motorbike irresponsi­bly in New York without a helmet, in August. Witnesses are said to have alerted the New York Police Department to a group of people who were doing wheelies and riding dangerousl­y along the street, and Meek was arrested after being identified from social media. Sources told the publicatio­n the hip hop star was held for questionin­g in an Upper Manhattan Precinct following the alleged incident. According to fans, Meek posted videos on his Instagram Stories of dirt bikes doing wheelies down the street. Earlier this year, Meek was said to be heartbroke­n following his split from Nicki Minaj, who he dated for around two years from 2015 to 2017. Speaking about their relationsh­ip, he previously said: “It was a win. I got Nicki when I was ... like I came up. I always wanted Nicki my whole life. I used to talk ... remember I had the rap about it. I bagged that. So that was a win of course. “Of course breaking up with anyone you love is a loss. Period. Game time. Want me to make up a lie or something? It’s so easy to tell the truth now.”
