Rapper Gucci Mane jailed for alleged assault with bottle Mar 27th 2013, 14:26 ATLANTA | Wed Mar 27, 2013 10:26am EDT ATLANTA (Reuters) - Rapper Gucci Mane was jailed in Georgia on Wednesday for allegedly hitting a fan in the head with a champagne bottle at an Atlanta nightclub earlier this month. Mane, whose real name is Radric Davis, turned himself in to authorities late on Tuesday, according to Fulton County Sheriff's Department records. His first court appearance was scheduled for Wednesday morning. Mane, 33, faces an aggravated assault charge after causing a "severe laceration" to the man whom he hit with a champagne bottle on March 16, according to a police report. The fan had approached Mane and tried to strike up a conversation, police said. Mane left the nightclub before police arrived. The incident is the latest in a long string of legal troubles for the rapper, who has appeared in remixes with the Black Eyed Peas and Usher. In 2001, Mane was arrested for cocaine possession and spent 90 days in jail. He served a six-month prison term in 2005 for assault, and in 2009, was imprisoned for a year for violating probation in that case. A Georgia judge sentenced Mane to six months in jail in 2011 after he admitted to pushing a woman out of his car.
