South Florida rapper Gunplay arrested, facing several charges
MIAMI - South Florida rapper Gunplay has been arrested.
Gunplay, whose real name is Richard Morales, is a cast member of "Love and Hip-Hop Miami."
According to the arrest report, Morales and his wife returned home Sunday around midnight. She reportedly told police he was very intoxicated and being loud while playing a game on his XBox.
Morales reportedly became angry when she told him to keep it down because their six month old baby was sleeping and their glass cups and liquor bottles at her.
He then picked up a rifle (AK-47), pointed it at her, then pressed it up against her chest stating "I will blow your (expletive) back," according to the arrest form.
Morales' wife reportedly told police that at the time she was carrying their baby and he would not let her leave the apartment.
Morales is accused of then attempting to take the baby from her by grabbing the child by the head and neck.
Morales' wife said she yelled for help and then her husband ran out into the hallway also asking for help.
She said she then left the apartment and ran down the hallway, calling her parents who contacted the police.
The police arrived and took Morales into custody. He's been charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, false imprisonment, and child abuse.
Morales' wife posted on Instagram that she and her daughter "are safe."
