Tyga has turned himself in to the Los Angeles Police Department on a charge of felony domestic violence, TMZ reports. His bail was set at $50,000, according to online records.

According to TMZ, Tyga “put his hands” on his ex-girlfriend Camaryn Swanson during a recent late-night argument at the rapper’s home. Swanson called the police, and the responding officers saw “visible marks” on her, TMZ reports.

Yesterday, Swanson shared images of injuries she allegedly sustained during the dispute on her Instagram Stories (viewed by Pitchfork) and wrote, “I’ve been emotionally, mentally, and physically abused and I’m not hiding it anymore.”

Pitchfork has reached out to Tyga’s representatives for comment and additional information.
