Z-Ro Reportedly Arrested After Getting Caught With A Gun In Houston

American rapper Z-Ro is currently being held in the Harris County Jail after police discovered a weapon in his car during a traffic stop in his native Houston.

On October 14, In a post to his official Facebook account, Harris County Constable Mark Herman revealed that the rapper, born Joseph McVey, had been pulled over in the 7500 block of N Sam Houston Pkwy W. Z-Ro, who is a convicted felon, immediately identified himself and informed the arresting officers that he was in possession of a firearm.

The post did not indicate what kind of weapon was recovered. However, upon further investigation, authorities uncovered 4.7 ounces of marijuana.

“Joseph Mcvey was arrested and booked into the Harris County jail, charged with Felon in Possession of a Firearm,” Herman wrote. “His bond and court information have not been set at this time.”

While it’s unclear what felony arrest remains on the Houston native’s record, Z-Ro was arrested in July 2017 after then-girlfriend, fellow rapper Just Brittany, accused him of assaulting her in her home.

The police report stated that the couple had plans to meet at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse on April 29, 2017, but the restaurant was closed. The pair met up at Z-Ro’s house instead, where an argument broke out after a conversation about the failed dinner date, per HipHopDX.

Z-Ro was accused of slapping, punching and dragging her around the house while holding a gun, with Brittany offering video evidence of the alleged altercation. The assault charges were eventually reduced to a misdemeanor, then dismissed altogether two years later.

Earlier this year, Z-Ro made headlines when he and fellow Houston rapper Trae Tha Truth were involved in an altercation, which was captured by fans and posted on social media.

Speaking to TMZ after the fight, Z-Ro claimed he was essentially ambushed by Trae and his crew on August 27 during 50 Cent’s Tycoon weekend in Houston.

“[I was] minding my business and when I walked outside, it was like, I’m called over to the side of sprinter van and he was like, ‘Ay, when you get finished doin’ that, come take this walk with me right quick,” he recalled.

“So, when the video comes on. it’s me making sure, like, you know, I’m not gon’ go home looking like I just fought a football team. I don’t even live my life like that. I got too much positive shit goin’ on, I obviously didn’t expect no shit like that, really.”

The lawyer in Houston that happens to be white. Anyway, we are still figuring out what is going on. Here’s what we know. The alleged altercation went down right outside of a private dinner. Not sure for who, but it reportedly happened at a high end restaurant. I am assuming both men appeared there and had friction. That purported friction turned into a fracas. That fracas turned into a rumor.

These guys have been at odds for a long, long time. We are looking at over 15 years! The word spread fast and hit the inna webs!
