Kenneth Petty Reportedly Arrested & Released On $20K Bond For Failing To Register As A Sex Offender In California

Nicki Minaj’s husband Kenneth Petty was reportedly arrested for failing to allegedly register as a sex offender in California.

According to TMZ:

“Kenneth Petty was in federal custody Wednesday — we’re told he turned himself into the Marshals. According to court docs, he’ll face a judge later today. Petty moved to California in July 2019, but according to law enforcement he got pulled over in Beverly Hills in November and that’s when his legal troubles started.”

TMZ also reports:

This arrest allegedly stems from a traffic stop that happened on November 15, 2019. At that time, Beverly Hills PD realized that he wasn’t registered as a sex offender in California, which is required of him, and he was therefore arrested. He was soon after released on $20K bond. However, the L.A. County D.A. charged him for failing to register as a sex offender.

Unfortunately, he didn’t follow up on that arrest, which is reportedly the reason he was arrested today.

If convicted, Kenneth Petty could receive up to 10 years in prison.
