Bryshere Gray, a popular actor and rapper, was recently arrested. According to the court records obtained by TMZ, police officers in Maricopa, Arizona, got a call from a lady who said that the couple was seeing each other but that Gray’s conduct was growing and she was concerned for her safety.
In the court filings, the lady also alleged that Gray hurled a box of food at her and yanked her hair. She even recounted Gray yelling at her on many occasions. Gray has a history of legal problems, including a domestic-related disturbance report in October 2022. Bryshere was accused of probation breach after failing to notify the probation officer about these instances. He was brought into jail after a judge issued a warrant for his arrest. After a conflict with the SWAT team at his home in 2020, Bryshere Gray pled guilty to felony aggravated assault last year. Gray was subsequently sentenced to ten days in county prison and three years probation.
