Case thrown out against Roddy Ricch, who leads chant against NYPD after release

Roddy Ricch is a free man.

The Compton, California, rapper was released from jail Sunday, less than a day after he was arrested on weapons charges while heading to his scheduled set at the Governors Ball Music Festival in New York.

Police said they took Ricch to jail after a private security firm had noticed a gun in a car he was riding in, forcing him to miss his set. However, Ricch was released in time for his Sunday performance at Summer Jam, where he led the crowd in a “F— NYPD chant.”
