Octavia Spencer did more than act in Fruitvale Station (2013). When the low budget production lost an investor and couldn't make payroll, she stepped in and personally financed the gap to save the movie, earning an Executive Producer credit.
OJ Da Juiceman has been arrested for allegedly pointing a gun at a Georgia State Patrol officer.
According to police records obtained by XXL on Monday (March 23), the Atlanta rapper, born Otis Williams Jr., is facing 10 charges in DeKalb County, Ga., following a strange encounter with a trooper back in January. TMZ reports that the incident began when OJ started tailgating and honking at a trooper on I-20 near Atlanta on Jan. 28. The trooper claims OJ then sped past him while pointing a firearm at the officer. After the trooper caught up with OJ, he pointed the gun at the officer again before speeding away.
Authorities were able to identify the rapper and the car and issued a warrant for his arrest. He was arrested on March 15 in Green County, Ga., and is now being held in DeKalb. The rapper has been charged with pointing or aiming a gun at another person, aggravated assault upon a pubic safetey officer, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony and various other traffic violations.
OJ has a bond hearing scheduled for April 2. XXL has reached out to OJ's team and attorney for comment.
