Tory Lanez violated the command of the detention for the Megan EU Stallion, said the prosecutor

Lanez was remanded into custody on increased bail of $350,000 after prosecutors said he violated two types of orders.


A judge ordered that rapper Tory Lanez be sent into custody Tuesday after prosecutors said he violated a restraining order obtained by his ex-girlfriend, Megan Thee Stallion.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney's office said in a pre-trial hearing that Lenz, whose legal name is Destar Peterson, violated two types of orders filed in his case. One is a "search protective order", and the other is a temporary criminal restraining order.

Prosecutors told the judge that Lenz violated orders by directly addressing his ex-girlfriend on social media and discussing DNA evidence.

He was remanded in return for $350,000 in bail.

His attorney, Sean Holly, said the district attorney's office asked for his bail to be canceled altogether or increased to $5 million.

"We are pleased that the court rejected those outrageous requests," Holly said.

Lenz is scheduled for trial in September in a case involving assault with a semiautomatic shotgun and carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle. She is accused of shooting Megan Thee Stallion, whose real name is Megan Peet, during a 2020 brawl.

He was charged in October 2020 and pleaded not guilty.

Holly told court Tuesday that there were four DNA contributors on the handgun, making the results inconclusive for Lenz. In addition, Lenz's DNA was not found at all on the magazine of the gun, which contains the bullets, his lawyer told the judge.

Megan Thee Stallion's attorney, Alex Spiro, stressed in a statement Tuesday that a judge had found enough evidence to order Lenz to stand trial.

"Furthermore, the judge found enough evidence today that he violated a security order and handcuffed him in the courtroom," Spiro said. "The self-proclaimed noise in this case will not change the facts or prevent the matter from proceeding."

Billboard reported that Lenz's bail was increased from $190,000 to $250,000 last year after a court found that Lenz had violated an order to stay 100 yards away from Megan Thee Stallion when she performed at the same concert. did, Billboard reported.

Megan Thee Stallion said in July 2020 that she had been shot in the leg and needed surgery to remove the bullet. Early reports at the time said she was bitten by glass at a party, but she disputed headlines and told Instagram followers that she was the victim of a crime.

She later accused Lenz of shooting her on her social media accounts.

County prosecutors said that at the time Lenz was being charged that the two "got into an argument while riding in an SUV in the Hollywood Hills," the victim jumped out of the vehicle and shot [Lenz] several times. is accused of hitting the leg and injuring him."
