Following domestic violence allegations from his wife, Big Tigger has been arrested for battery and child cruelty.

Over the weekend, Big Tigger was arrested on battery and third-degree child cruelty charges, according to TMZ. This arrest comes after weeks of scrutiny following allegations made by his wife, Alicia Brown.

Big Tigger was eventually booked into the Fulton County Jail, although he posted bail later that day. He had to pay upwards of $10K in bond. The battery charge cost $9K, while the cruelty to children charge was another $1K.

Back in May, authorities opened up a domestic dispute investigation after Brown sought medical help for injuries she allegedly sustained. At the time of the arrest, it is unclear whether or not the charges are in connection with that investigation.
