Blueface was booked into jail on January 12, 2024, in Los Angeles, in connection with a probation violation tied to a 2021 assault case.

Key date

  • Lockup date: Jail records and news reports state that Blueface (Johnathan Porter) was arrested and booked into the Van Nuys jail on January 12, 2024, and held at Men’s Central Jail in downtown Los Angeles.

Why he got locked up

  • The custody in January 2024 stemmed from him violating probation in a case involving the 2021 assault of a security guard at a North Hollywood lounge.
  • That probation was connected to earlier legal issues; violating it allowed the judge to impose a prison term.

Later sentencing and status

  • In August 2024, he was reported to have received a four‑year prison sentence after that probation violation, with some outlets noting he had already served significant time in custody that would count toward it.
  • Separate from the probation case, he also faced an attempted murder case in Las Vegas from an October 2022 shooting, for which he had previously received probation in October 2023.

Other notable arrests

  • He was arrested in Las Vegas on a robbery charge in June 2023, after allegedly taking a woman’s phone at the Palms Casino.
  • Earlier in his career, he had multiple lower‑level arrests and short stints in jail tied to weapons and other incidents, but the January 12, 2024 booking is the key recent “when did Blueface get locked up” moment most people online are referring to.
