Quando Rondo has reportedly entered a not guilty plea in connection to his 2023 car crash where he was charged with DUI.
Quando Rondo Enters Not Guilty Plea
The Georgia rapper continues to deal with his legal matters in court. On Sept. 19, Quando Rondo, born Tyqian Bowman, entered a plea of not guilty in Chatham County State Court on charges of driving under the influence and reckless driving, according to local Savannah, Ga. news station WSAV.
The charges stem from a car accident that occurred on July 19, 2023. According to a police affidavit, Quando was “operating a motor vehicle in Chatham County and was observed traveling at a high rate of speed and ultimately crashed his vehicle [into] another vehicle. Emergency services responded to the scene and the defendant was administered Narcan as he was exhibiting signs of an overdose.”
Seven months later, in February of 2024, Quando was arrested in connection to the fender bender. The rapper is slated to appear in court for a pretrial hearing to address the matter on Oct. 23.
