Recent reports have Polo G fans on edge. After the “Darkside” rapper’s legal woes (which allegedly included weapons, robbery, kidnapping, and assault charges) seemingly forced him to delay his Hood Poet album, a supposed new arrest could impact its supporting tour.

Today (October 21), Polo G’s listing was updated to confirm Polo G had been released at 4:55 p.m. local time today. Polo G’s reason reason cites code 49B1. This code indicates that a person was released without bail due to an insufficient complaint. The release reason is marked as the warrantless detainment “RLSED PER 849(B)(1)PC A DETENTION ONLY,” which means “the officer is satisfied that there are insufficient grounds for making a criminal complaint against the person arrested” according to California legislative website.
