Rapper Rick Ross was on Wednesday arrested at his mansion, and is facing kidnapping and assault charges after the U.S marshal’s service fugitive task force and deputies picked him up at his mansion in South Atlanta.

Jim Joyne , a supervisor with the marshals’ southeast regional fugitive task force, told newsmen that the rapper and a man reported to be his body guard were taken into custody in Fayette county.

Ross whose real name is William Roberts was being held in Fayette county jail on charges of kidnapping, aggravated assault and aggravated battery, Joyner said. The body-guard, whose name wasn’t released, faces same charges.
