A$AP Rocky Could Be Held for Weeks After Arrest in Sweden

A$AP Rocky is in even more trouble than we thought, because Swedish authorities have just made it clear … they have no plans to release him anytime soon.

Swedish prosecutors are asking a judge to allow them to hold A$AP Rocky and members of his crew for 2 weeks, while they investigate the alleged assault Tuesday for which he was arrested.  Swedish authorities are normally allowed to keep people for only 3 days, so they are clearly gunning for him.

And there’s even more ominous news.  As you know, authorities jumped into action after a video surfaced of A$AP and his crew pummeling a guy on the street, leaving him battered and bloodied.

But then another video surfaced, showing the alleged victim harassing A$AP, grabbing a woman’s butt and hitting his bodyguard with a set of headphones. The guy was harassing A$AP and his crew for a half hour before they had enough.

A$AP actually tried to be a peacemaker … telling the guy, “We don’t wanna fight y’all.  We don’t wanna go to jail.”

It’s unclear if authorities saw that second video before they arrested A$AP, but they have seen it now.  What’s really significant … Swedish prosecutors tell us they are releasing the bodyguard now due to “insufficient evidence” but they are not releasing A$AP.  That suggests the second video doesn’t do it for prosecutors, and they still view this as an assault.
