Police photographed the driver's reported injuries during an ongoing investigation.

Overview

  • Authorities in Wasatch County cited the rapper on October 2 after an on-route dispute involving his driver during a trip from Park City to a Salt Lake City rehearsal.
  • The driver, identified as Carl Reynolds, alleges Carti struck him in the face, and officers documented redness and a jaw injury at the scene.
  • According to a police report referenced in coverage, Carti’s girlfriend and a security guard tried to take responsibility, and the report says Carti acknowledged punching the driver over where the vehicle stopped.
  • Reynolds told police he did not see Carti strike the woman in the car, noting only that she appeared hunched over holding her chest; the citation pertains to the driver, not her.
