Rick Ross, real name William Leonard Roberts III, will not face any jail time after pleading no contest to several charges stemming from an incident in 2015.
The two claimants in the case had argued that both Ross and his bodyguard had pistol-whipped them at Ross’ Fayetteville home, leading to charges of aggravated assault, battery and pointing a pistol at someone.
The incident came after the two service workers threw a party at Ross’ estate without permission, and when Ross found out, he allegedly pointed a gun at his groundskeeper and forced him into a guesthouse, where he beat him with the weapon.
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Rozay pleaded no contest to all of the charges. He was sentenced to time served and a $10,000 fine for the felony charge (Ross is a first-time felony offender). For the misdemeanor charges (including a fifth charge for possessing cannabis), Ross was sentenced to 60 months of probation — meaning that he won’t see the inside of a cell.
The sentence also stipulates that Ross can’t use drugs or alcohol, must undergo anger management, can’t possess firearms, and must have no contact with the victims. A search clause is also included in the probation.
Ross’ no contest plea evaded the need for a full trial, something judges often take into account when rendering a sentence. The terms of Ross’ probation do not include any restrictions on his travel — which will really free him up to shoot that movie with Gucci Mane.
Ross spoke briefly to a reporter about his decision to plead no contest:
Ross has been on Twitter since the court’s decision, praising God before getting back to business.
No drugs or alcohol? How long before he gets locked up on breaches
AND NO GUNS SO HE CAN’T PROTECT HIMSELF WHEN BIRDMANS GOONS CATCH UP WITH HIM!!!
I bet a lot of prisoners are disappointed. They were looking forward to sliding their snakes into his big, juicy cheeks.
LMMFAO!!!!! VERY FUNNY SHIT RIGHT HERE!
They don’t put cops in jail
For real. Remember a couple years back he drunkenly crashed his car into a building with an unregistered loaded firearm and walked away without so much as a DUI or even a fine
UMMMM I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE TIME HE GOT SHOT AT AND HE CRASHED HIS CAR. BUT MAYBE THIS COULD BE ANOTHER TIME ALSO
That was just his made up excuse. Not 1 bullet touched his big ass car. He heard some shots a few blocks away and got so scared he ran into a wall.
WHEN THE LAW IS LITERALLY ON YOUR SIDE!!!! AIN’T THAT RIGHT, OFFICER RICKY???

Everyone already know where Ross stay at. He got the biggest crib in Georgia. There was never any proof that they had a party there… that was just what Officer Ricky tried to use as justification for assaulting his gardeners with a weapon. They had their young families there staying in the guest house with his permission.
Pointing guns at lil innocent kids ain’t gangsta or boss. He’s a coward who only gets tough around civilians and women.
