R&B artist Keke Wyatt has been taken into custody in Georgia, where she faces allegations of cruelty to children, simple assault and terroristic threats. A spokesperson for the Henry County Sheriff's Office told TMZ that Wyatt was taken into custody on September 20 and booked at the Henry County jail on those three charges. She left custody two days afterward after paying a $1,050 bond, the sheriff's office said. At the time, further information about what prompted the arrest and the particular accusations behind the charges was not available. The charges remain accusations, and the available information does not show that Wyatt has been found guilty of any offense related to the matter. Wyatt gained national attention in the early 2000s through her work with fellow R&B singer Avant. The pair's duets My First Love and Nothing in This World were included on Wyatt's first studio album, Soul Sista, which received gold certification. Beyond music, Wyatt was featured in all three seasons of the TV One reality show R&B Divas: Atlanta. She also appeared in the reality series Keke Wyatt's World.
