Meek Mill walks without bail after he's charged in wheelie stunt

Rapper Meek Mill walked out of court without bail Friday following his arrest for allegedly performing wheelies on a dirt bike and uploading a video to Instagram.

Mill, whose legal name is Robert Rihmeek Williams, is charged with reckless endangerment and reckless driving, both misdemeanors. He was arrested at 10th Ave. and Dyckman St in Inwood about 10:15 p.m. Thursday.

Prosecutors wanted Judge Gerianne Abriano to impose $7,500 bail.

"The defendant has an extensive out-of-state record from Pennsylvania, including a drug conviction, a conviction for a loaded gun as well as multiple drug convictions... as well as many other contacts with the criminal justice system out of state," said Assistant District Attorney Eli Cohen.

"The defendant is a famous musician who has the means to flee if he so desires … The defendant drove a dirt bike in the streets of Manhattan, putting other drivers... as well as himself, in danger of serious injury, which is a large concern with the quality of life in this particular area."

But Abriano ultimately sided with his lawyer's request that Mill be released without bail. She did so on one condition — that Mill complete driver's school.

He is due back in court Oct. 11.
