According to the police report, a female rideshare driver refused to let Wilkins inside the car unless he properly ordered the ride through the app. She alleged that he got aggravated and punched her in the shoulder.
Two male witnesses stepped in to diffuse the situation but Wilkins allegedly punched one man in the face.
Wilkins eventually called the police, claiming to be the victim — but was arrested after police spoke to witnesses.
The younger brother of NBA Hall of Famer Dominique Wilkins, Gerald Wilkins has had several run-ins with the law. He was arrested three separate times within a 10-day span in late May and early June, 360aproko news reported.
