Soulja Girl, MARTA, I’m pressin’ charges
Atlanta entertainment blogger Sandra Rose says Soulja Girl (a.k.a. the young woman depicted in a recent web video yelling and rapping abusively at an elderly woman on a MARTA train), was arrested and released on bail Friday. Rose does not reveal the alleged Soulja Girl’s full name, but does post what appears to be a mug shot.
In a previous post, Rose says a woman claiming to be Soulja Girl’s sister told V-103’s Ryan Cameron Show Friday that her sister suffers from bipolar disorder.
From SandraRose.com:
Soulja Girl’s sister and baby daddy called into the Ryan Cameron Show on V-103 today. Soulja Girl’s sister told Ryan that her sister was diagnosed with bipolar disorder 5 years ago and the incident on the train was the result of her sister not taking her meds.
She said Soulja Girl was turned into police by their mother yesterday and she is being held on $300 bail.
On a more meta-note, people love them some public-transit drama. According to the ViralVideoChart, this thing “spread like wildfire.”

I tried talking to MARTA. Just to make sure the whole YouTube video is real to begin with. MARTA spokesperson to me, before she hung up, “Have a good weekend.”
Try again Monday I suppose. But the Interwebs rage on into the night, eh?

well i would like to say that this is an illness that needs our full attention. my mother in law of 20yrs was diagnosed about 5yrs ago. i dont really see a difference. though she uses it as a crutch a lot. i want her to see this. this is a true medical emergency. then maybe she would stop. my prayers go out for this young lady, the elder woman, both families and all passengers. God bless neecy johnson of okc.
