In Minneapolis in 2002, Moss was driving when he tried to make an illegal turn. A traffic control officer, who saw the turn he was about to make, stepped in his way and ordered him to stop. While it is unclear what, exactly, happened after that, it is known that Moss chose not to obey the traffic officer, and bumped the officer with his car, causing her to fall to the ground. After Moss' arrest, his car was searched, and marijuana was found inside. In the end, Moss was sentenced to 40 hours of community service and a $1,200 fine.

In January 2008, Rachelle Washington filed an affidavit against Moss for serious injury and refusing to allow her to seek medical attention. A day after the radio released this information, Moss spoke out in the locker room, claiming that he had never once assaulted a woman in his life, and that Washington was an acquaintance of 11 years who was trying to get money out of him. Moss was not charged for any crime. (Boston, January 16, 2008)
