ATLANTA (AP) Rapper Gucci Mane is facing federal firearms charges after authorities say he possessed guns on two occasions when police were called to investigate his behavior.
The rapper, whose real name is Radric Davis, faces two counts of possession of a firearm by a felon, the U.S. attorney's office in Atlanta said Tuesday. Davis, 33, was indicted by a federal grand jury on Nov. 19.
Davis was found to have a gun on Sept. 12 and had a different gun in his possession two days later, prosecutors said. Prosecutors say he acted erratically and threatened people on both occasions.
"This is how people get hurt, and we are committed to ensuring that convicted felons not have guns," U.S. Attorney Sally Quillian Yates said in a news release.
Davis' lawyer Drew Findling said Tuesday he is reviewing information in the case and then will decide what action to take.
