Meek Mill Offers $2K To Find Man Who Performed Obscene Act In Philly Dollar Tree, Suspect Comes Forward
Meek Mill made it clear that he wasn’t with the weird behavior when he offered $2000 to find a man who performed an obscene act on a woman at a Philadelphia Dollar Tree. After his “manhunt” gained traction, the suspect reportedly turned himself in.
Footage surfaced on Wednesday (July 10) of a woman claiming that a man ejaculated on her leg while shopping at the discount store. She can be seen yelling at him as he runs out of the establishment. The “Going Bad” rapper took it upon himself to assemble the people and bring the offender to justice. “Let’s play manhunt with him today in Philly some community service,” Meek wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “I got 2 bands for his lo??? But you gotta connect.”
The Heathenism rapper continued his efforts by sharing a photo of the suspect. The man wore a shirt that said “It’s not going to lick itself,” presumably referring to his genitals. “Just go live with him don’t pursue him,” Meek wrote. “It gotta actually be you … Philly small people know where this creep a** dude at ghtfoh … we need community protection also!”

The suspect must have realized that the city of Philadelphia was mobilizing to find him, because cops confirmed that he turned himself in hours after Meek Mill’s signal boosted knowledge of his disgusting act. Fox 29 revealed that he is Gary A. Miles, a 35-year-old man from Southwest Philadelphia. “The PPD extends its gratitude to the public for their assistance in locating Mr. Miles,” Philadelphia police said in a statement. They also were able to figure out that the incident shown in the video took place on June 23.
Outside of hunting down criminals, Meek Mill has been active on the music scene this year. At the end of May, he shared “5AM In Philly.” In February, he shared his EP Heathenism which featured Future and Fivio Foreign on two out of the three tracks.
In November 2023, he gave fans their long-awaited dream collaboration project with Rick Ross titled Too Good To Be True. The 17-track effort featured Future, Wale, Jeremih, The-Dream, and many more. Listen below.
