ATLANTA (AP) — Rapper Gucci Mane, who appeared in court on a charge he violated terms of his probation, has been ordered to undergo psychiatric tests.
Radric Davis, the rapper’s real name, appeared before Fulton County Superior Court Judge John Goger on Monday.
Davis’ attorney, Michael Holmes, filed a special plea of mental incompetency on behalf of his client, who has battled drug problems in the past.
The rapper was sent to Anchor Hospital, a 111-bed psychiatric and chemical dependency treatment facility near Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.
Records show Davis has been in the Fulton County Jail at least five times since 2005 on drug, aggravated assault and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon charges.
