This is not the first time Hernandez has had run-ins with the law. In August, police bodycam footage showed the moments the rapper was arrested in Palm Beach County for failing to appear in court on charges stemming from a traffic violation.

In March, Hernandez was hospitalized after he was brutally beaten by a group of men at an LA Fitness in Lake Worth. Video of the attack went viral on social media.
