R&B musician Trey Songz is facing multiple criminal counts, including one for assault, after he was arrested Sunday and charged for his alleged involvement in two separate incidents at different New York City establishments more than a week apart.
Manhattan prosecutors alleged the 41 year old singer was partying at Dramma Night Club in Times Square on Dec. 4 when he became “needlessly irate” and allegedly punched an employee in the face, according to the New York Post.
The outlet says the incident purportedly unfolded around 4:25 a.m., after the singer was told that the establishment was closing.
He was arraigned Sunday on an assault count linked to the Dec. 4 incident and then was also hit with a second-degree mischief charge for an unrelated disturbance at Mira restaurant and hookah lounge in Manhattan early Sunday, The Post reported.
During that second incident, Trey Songz allegedly broke around $1,500 worth of restaurant property, including hookahs, DJ equipment, and sofas, his criminal complaint reportedly said.
The lawyer suggested his client was targeted by individuals acting “in pursuit of headlines or financial gain.”
