Desiigner Arrested in South Carolina on Second‑Degree Domestic Violence Charge

The new filing adds three felony property counts that raise the rapper’s potential prison exposure under Horry County law.

Overview

  • Horry County booking records show Desiigner was arrested and booked into the J. Reuben Long Detention Center after an incident that investigators say occurred on July 14.
  • He faces one count of second‑degree domestic violence and three counts of malicious injury to animals or personal property, with damage on some counts listed between $2,000 and $10,000.
  • Records show no bond was set for the domestic violence charge and for two of the property counts, while a $1,500 bond was set on the remaining property count.
  • Local investigators and the alleged victim told reporters the dispute involved a hammer chase, smashed phones, and vandalism to neighbor vehicles and property; those allegations are part of the pending criminal case.
  • This arrest follows a March misdemeanor domestic violence charge in the same county, the new felony counts carry potential multiyear sentences if convicted, and Desiigner’s representatives had not responded to requests for comment.
