The hairstylist sought for allegedly shooting a gun into the floor of a Buckhead salon in a dispute over a client's hair turned himself in Tuesday, police said.
Corwin C. Pledger, 24, faces aggravated assault and terroristic threat charges in the incident.
Pledger allegedly got angry when his client, Neffe Pugh, sister of Atlanta singer Keyshia Cole, went to Derek J.'s salon, the J Spot Salon on Pharr Road, to have her hair redone after being unhappy with Pledger's work.
"The suspect pointed a loaded handgun at several customers and discharged his weapon while inside the business on Pharr Road," Atlanta police said in a release on March 14 .
Derek J., who has made regular appearances on "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" and appeared in the Chris Rock movie "Good Hair," told Channel 2 Action News he was not happy about the shot fired at his salon.
"I'm upset because my floor is messed up now," said Derek J., whose last name is Johnson.
No one was hurt in the shooting, but a bullet pierced the floor.
