Well-known Baton Rouge rapper Torence "Boosie" Hatch was arrested outside a courthouse by federal agents Wednesday in San Diego, according to the San Diego County District Attorney's Office.
Hatch was arrested by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives immediately after his previous gun charges were dismissed by Judge Francis Devaney in San Diego Wednesday morning. No other information on Wednesday's arrest was immediately available.
"I wanna take this time to apologize to my kids, I'm sorry and I love y'all forever," Hatch tweeted hours after the arrest.
I WANNA TAKE THIS TIME TO APOLOGIZE TO MY KIDS , IM SORRY AND I LOVE YALL FOREVER 🙏🏾

Hatch's discography includes several songs with over 25 million plays on Spotify; among his most prominent works include the song "Set It Off" and his featured role in "Wipe Me Down" by rapper Foxx, each of which have amassed over 54 million Spotify plays.
Hatch was previously arrested in May after San Diego police conducted a traffic stop on him and a wanted man and found two handguns in the car, San Diego police said at the time. He was scheduled for a show at the Phantom Lounge near downtown San Diego but was arrested about five miles from the venue.
This is a developing story.
