Quando Rondo’s legal woes got worse when he was busted for driving under the influence and reckless driving in Georgia on Tuesday (February 6). His latest arrest occurred while out on bond in state and federal cases.
The DUI and reckless driving charges were misdemeanors. Quando Rondo, whose real name is Tyquian Bowman, posted a $4,600 bond.
“Our overall comment on the incident is ‘no comment,’” Quando Rondo’s rep told the Savannah Morning News. “It’s an old incident and Mr. Bowman turned himself in compliant as soon as he was made aware that he had warrants and took care of the situation.”
According to multiple reports, Savannah Police arrested Quando Rondo for a July 2023 incident. He was involved in a car crash and exhibited signs of an overdose. Authorities said he required sedation at a local hospital after he started acting hostile to the staff.
At the time, Quando Rondo was out on bond on state drug and gang charges. Prosecutors urged a judge to revoke his bond, but he was allowed to stay out of jail. His bond was modified to prevent him from driving and required him to take drug tests.
Quando Rondo was one of 19 people indicted in a state drug and gang case in June 2023. He was charged with conspiracy to violate Georgia’s Controlled Substances Act, participating in criminal activity in association with a street gang and illegal use of a communication facility.
Months later, Quando Rondo faced more trouble when the feds arrested him. He was charged with one count of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute controlled substances in December 2023.
The 24-year-old rapper was released on a $100,000 bond after spending more than a week in jail. A judge placed him on house arrest while he awaits trial.
