Joe Budden Goes on Tweet Rant While Evading Police, Eventually Turns Himself In
After days on the run and a series of tweets ridiculing the police, wanted Joe Budden finally turned himself in on Wednesday morning.
The "Pump It Up" hitmaker allegedly choked his girlfriend and took her cellphone on Aug. 18 after seeing photos of her with other men. He first found her at a New York City restaurant, dragged her out into his car and brutally beat her. He then drove to his New Jersey home, where the beating continued.
So my August resolution (yes I said August, I’m not waiting til NYE) is to stop going back & 4th w women that aren’t my girl.

Messy break ups are so.. Well……. Messy. — Joe Budden (@JoeBudden) August 21, 2014
However, Budden denied the reported violent assault, tweeting:
Also, if I did half of what’s alleged, a pic of her face would be out, not her leg.. This is simple logic here.

Joe Budden then showed up at the 34th precinct in Inwood at 9 a.m. with his attorney Nima Ameri, who told TMZ that the "She Don't Put It Down" rapper "looks forward to an opportunity to responsibly deal with and address the allegations so he may establish the actual facts" and is cooperating with the investigation, and the facts will "demonstrate the truth of Mr. Budden's involvement and the real events that transpired."
The possibility of him facing charges of robbery and grand larceny did not stop Joe Budden from his social media rant, as he continued to tweet while he was in custody:
