Playboi Carti Cited in Utah for Misdemeanor Assault After Limo Driver’s Complaint

Conflicting statements in the police report leave key details in dispute as the legal process moves forward.

Overview

  • Wasatch County deputies cited the rapper on Oct. 2 after responding to reports of a fight near River Road and U.S. Route 40 during a ride from Park City to rehearsals.
  • The driver, identified as Carl Reynolds, alleged Carti punched him in the face; deputies documented redness on Reynolds’ lower jaw consistent with physical contact.
  • The report notes diverging accounts: Carti allegedly acknowledged punching the driver, the girlfriend said she struck the driver, and the security guard claimed he elbowed the driver.
  • Records reflect a citation issued on Oct. 2, while some outlets reference a charging document dated Oct. 9, with authorities indicating the case remains under review.
  • Reynolds is preparing to seek legal counsel, and Carti performed in Salt Lake City on Oct. 3 with no tour cancellations announced.
