Boosie Badazz's son Ivy Hatch was arrested on armed robbery and battery charges in Livingston Parish.

This is an arrest and a booking, not a finding. The sheriff's office says a victim reported being battered and robbed and that its investigation led to two arrests. Those are allegations in a booking sheet. No court has heard evidence, no prosecutor has filed a bill of information that any outlet has described, and the famous last name changes nothing about the standard the state has to meet. The next real event is whatever the district attorney decides to charge.

Ivy Hatch, 18, the son of Baton Rouge rapper Boosie Badazz, was arrested Thursday, Oct. 22, 2026, by the Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office, WAFB reported. The station reported the arrest followed a call at about 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 21, about a battery and robbery on Buffwood Street in Denham Springs. The Advocate reported the same arrest and identified Hatch's father by his legal name, Torrence Hatch, who performs as Boosie Badazz. An arrest means deputies believed they had probable cause. It is not a charge decision by the district attorney, and it is not a conviction.

WAFB reported Hatch was booked on counts of armed robbery, aggravated second-degree battery, possession of a firearm while in possession of drugs, and possession of drug paraphernalia. TMZ, citing the sheriff's office, also listed a possession with intent to distribute count. The station reported his bond was set at $275,500 and that he was released from custody Thursday. Bond is about whether and how a person is released while a case is pending. It says nothing about whether the accusations are true.

Sheriff Jason Ard said in a statement quoted by WAFB: "The victim in this case reported being battered and robbed. Our investigation led to two arrests: Ivy Hatch and a juvenile. More arrests are expected as our investigation continues." WAFB reported the juvenile was taken to the Florida Parishes Juvenile Detention Center. Crime Talk Network does not name minors, and the juvenile is not identified here. WBRZ reported two more adults, Antonio Cooley, 19, and Calei Ely, 18, were also arrested in connection with the case. None of the outlets described what role, if any, the sheriff's office alleges each person played.

No outlet reported a statement from Hatch, an attorney for him, or his father about the arrest. The outlets did not describe how the victim was hurt beyond the reported battery, what was taken, or whether a gun was recovered at the scene. Those facts will matter when the Livingston Parish district attorney decides what, if anything, to formally charge, and the booking counts can change at that stage. Booking charges are the starting point the sheriff's office chose, not the case a jury would hear. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. For now, Hatch is out on bond on accusations, and the investigation, by the sheriff's own account, is still open.
