However, on Wednesday, a fresh rap sheet on Watson surfaced, allegedly from Broward County jail, which also included his mugshot. The arrest record has five charges related to violence and battery.
However, Ht.com could not independently verify the records. Though social media posts claimed that Watson was arrested, there seems to be no confirmed reports of the same.
Here’s the viral post:
The unconfirmed rap sheet lists multiple serious charges, including robbery by sudden snatching without a weapon, felony battery, and aggravated assault with intent to commit a felony related to a dating violence case. All charges are marked as pending trial.
The records also show that no bond has been set, suggesting that the probe may be in the early stages.
