Producer and reality TV star Mickey “Memphitz” Wright has turned himself in to authorities five days after allegedly pulling a gun on a car wash employee in Johns Creek, Ga.

Wright was booked at the Fulton County jail on Tuesday and faces charges of aggravated assault and armed robbery. According to the AJC, the charges against Wright stem from a June 25 incident at the Club Corners Car Wash in Johns Creek. Wright had taken his Jeep Wrangler to the shop to have it cleaned. After the vehicle was cleaned, Wright left the shop but later returned and accused an employee of stealing marijuana out of the car. The employee reportedly told Wright that he didn’t have the weed, at which point Wright allegedly pulled out a pink and black handgun and threatened the employee.

A native of Memphis, Wright starred on BET’s Toya: A Family Affair and is currently separated from co-star Toya Wright, who has a child with Lil Wayne.
