The photo shows Spotengotem being arrested while trying to hide from police in a shed after trying to evade law enforcement during a high-speed car chase last year.
In body camera footage leaked online in March, the Florida rapper was seen hiding in someone’s shed, and Miami-Dade County police arrested him on weapons charges after a lengthy pursuit.
The video shows Spotem Gottem, whose real name is Nehemiah Harden, crawling on his hands and knees as police, accompanied by a K-9 dog, order him out of the shed. They also appeared to have grabbed hold of his gold chain.
The footage relates to an incident last July when Spotem Gottem fled from police when they tried to pull him over during a traffic stop.
Arrest forms show police pulled over the 22-year-old rapper because his Corvette had tinted windows. As they approached the car, he sped off.
As other police officers were called to the pursuit, the rapper collided with another vehicle. His car ended up being totaled and police chased him on foot.
During a search of his vehicle, authorities found a Glock 23 pistol with an illegally modified automatic sear, a .40-caliber extended magazine containing 19 rounds and a loose .40-caliber round.
Spottam did not have a concealed weapons permit and was driving on a suspended license, which resulted in multiple charges.
This isn’t the rapper’s first run-in with the law. In 2022, he was arrested after leading police on a jet ski chase in Miami, allegedly endangering the lives and property of people nearby.
The previous year, he was arrested by U.S. Marshals on a series of weapons charges, NBC 6 South Florida reported.
