Sammie Addresses Arrest on Domestic Violence and Child Cruelty Charges

R&B artist Sammie speaks out after his arrest in Georgia on charges of domestic violence and child cruelty, urging patience from fans as the legal process unfolds.

R&B singer Sammie has publicly commented on his recent arrest in Georgia, where he faces charges related to domestic violence and child cruelty. The 38-year-old musician was taken into custody on October 19, 2025, and is facing serious allegations including first-degree battery related to family violence and third-degree cruelty to children.

According to police reports, the incident in question allegedly involved his partner and occurred in the presence of a child. Following his arrest, Sammie was released on bond, which was set at approximately $1,050.

In response to the news of his arrest, Sammie took to Instagram to address his fans, encouraging them to remain patient as the legal proceedings develop. In his post, he expressed a message of faith, stating, "Happy Sunday… I’m gonna let God have his say, and the courts have their say, and the truth shall set you free. Love. I appreciate y’all. Thank y’all for the concerns. Love."

His message conveyed a sense of calm rather than outright denial or admission of guilt, highlighting his belief in the eventual revelation of the truth. Additionally, Sammie expressed frustration with certain media outlets for their coverage of the situation, particularly commenting under a post by The Shade Room, stating, "SR y’all know better. Should’ve hit me & my team first for the facts opposed for click bait, y’all know how I rock. Y’all brought me back career wise. But I see y’all pushing the agenda of negativity and that’s fine. God bless y’all. I pray the apologies are as loud as the lies and offenses."

Currently, details surrounding the alleged incident remain sparse, as authorities have not released a complete police report. Furthermore, neither Sammie’s partner nor his representatives have provided any official statements beyond the posts available online.

At this time, Sammie continues to assert his innocence, indicating that he will allow "the courts and God" to determine the outcome of the case. Official court documents and additional statements from both parties are anticipated to shed more light on the situation in the upcoming days.
