D.C. rapper Yung Gleesh, aka Asa Asuncion, turned himself in to authorities Tuesday after being charged with sexual assault in Austin, Texas.

Asuncion was sought on charges stemming from time he spent in Austin while playing the South by Southwest festival. An arrest affidavit says Asuncion allegedly assaulted an intoxicated woman after she passed out at a house where Asuncion had been staying during the festival.

A spokesperson for Austin police says the rapper turned himself in at the Travis County Jail Tuesday and was arrested. Austin’s KXAN-TV reports he posted bond and is no longer in custody.
