He was released later that day after posting a $10,000 bond.

Records show Big Tigger was arrested by the Sandy Springs Police Department, which is in the metro Atlanta area.

TMZ reported that the arrest comes after Big Tigger’s wife accused him of a domestic incident last month in which she shared posts on social media about her injuries. She was taken to a hospital.

At the time, Big Tigger told TMZ that his wife’s “allegations and accusations that have been circulating are false.”

It is unclear whether Big Tigger’s recent arrest stems from the same incident.
