OJ Da Juiceman faces multiple criminal charges in Georgia following a highway confrontation that prosecutors say involved a firearm pointed at a state trooper.
The Atlanta rapper, whose legal name is Rapeze Wilborn, was arrested March 15 after authorities issued a warrant tied to a January incident on Interstate 20. The case includes 10 charges, led by felony counts of aggravated assault on a public safety officer & possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
A trooper with the Georgia State Patrol stated he was merging into the HOV lane on I-20 East when a vehicle began tailgating & repeatedly honking. According to the officer’s report, the driver passed the patrol car & “pointed a black handgun directly at him” before accelerating away through traffic.
The trooper reported encountering the same vehicle again moments later. During that second interaction, the driver allegedly aimed the firearm toward the officer once more before leaving the scene.
Investigators later connected the vehicle to a rented Nissan Altima. Authorities subsequently identified Wilborn as the suspected driver & obtained an arrest warrant in February. Officers arrested him the following month.
Defense counsel has contested the state’s identification of Wilborn as the driver. During bond proceedings, attorneys submitted a sworn affidavit from a woman who said she rented the Nissan Altima involved in the case. She stated she permitted another man to use the vehicle & asserted that, to her knowledge, Wilborn “was not behind the wheel” during the alleged encounter.
Defense lawyers also argued Wilborn maintains strong ties to Georgia, citing his career $ family connections in the state. They contended he presents no flight risk while the matter proceeds.
The case remains pending as investigators continue reviewing evidence and witness accounts. The affidavit disputing Wilborn’s presence in the vehicle may play a central role in future proceedings in Georgia court.
