I would say for at least one year.

Who was it, and if you don't mind telling it, what happened? How did it impact your relationship with them?

For me, the closest was one of my boys from college. He got caught up in a Grade change/Tuition change scandal, and he got like two years in Fed. The combination of me moving back to L.A. and him going to Prison a few months later def made us lose touch for a while, but we always stayed cool.

my old man got knocked for attempted murder and drug possession

uncle got knocked for assault on a cop and drug possession.

one cousin got knock for shooting up a night spot and prior shit, the other cousin, well I can't really go into that. It was sort of a big story, even talked about in here, so yeah, nah

I dunno if their time spent (& currently spending) affected our relationship as such but I will say that the only one I checked on was my uncle. Mainly bcuz he wasn't too far so it was way easier to make visits.

were on the level of Rayful Edmonds. judge gave them big numbers when they were making small money. most of them ended up with public defenders.

and my high school homie? judge did him DIRTY. his father used to beat the shit outta all of them. he terrorized the whole family. dude got sick of it and blasted his ass with the shotty as he slept next to his mother.

fuckin judge...dude ended up getting sentenced as an adult even though he was 16 when it happened. he was a small guy so he had to do some extra wild shit in prison to survive.

he went in at 16 and came home for the first time at 35. of course he ain't stay home. he may have been free for 6 months before he was right back in. he came home one more time before he caught another body and now he in for life...

lived 5 houses down. Our families were really close. My mom is godmother to his youngest sister. But they moved away when I was 15 and he was a senior. That is when he started getting into shit. But he did like 4 or 5 different bids. First time he was hanging out with friends. One friend had robbed someone at gun point before meeting up with them. Cops came and found them all together and his friend with the gun and they all got in trouble. He did 6 months in Juvi. Then came out and robbed a liquor store with friends. Did another year or something with for that. Got out on parole and the second day out he walks into a store and grabs a hat and tells the cashier I'm taking this and walked out. Did 2 more years. I dont even know what his last thing was for but he did 6 years. I think he has 2 strikes now. Last time I saw him was when he got out after doing the 6. Was a completely different person. 5 minutes into that meet up I knew I wouldnt talk to him again.

November 8th, 2005 The greatest night in the history of GD!

mostly drug shit.

got an uncle who just finished 25 for murder.

another cousin serving for murder.

You know it's drama, but it sound real good.

Though I guess he'd been a friend of mine for almost a decade when he got arrested.

He spent a little over 10 years locked up. He's been on parole since then. He'll finally be off parole this coming February.

Not going to go into what happened because I feel like that's his business to tell.

It didn't really impact my relationship with him. Visited him a bunch in prison, especially after he got transferred to Solano, which is like an hour and a half away. Spoke to him on the phone when possible. Put money on his books. Sent him some books.

He's been out since early 2012, and I'll say they sure as shit haven't made it easy for him. Whole system seems designed to find ways to put him back in. He's maintained though.

I ain't lyin. This shit i'm making up is true...

CreditTrust prolly....used to be on York Rd near Hunt Valley

MCI was in Hunt Valley

=======================================
Coolin...

I was actually pretty good at that shit too.

Streets won't let me chill.

basically moved allllllll the way up the ranks (even when Bank of America took over) to VP

dude is abt 4 years older than me...he was tellin me a story abt how the morgan kids would steal these free bus passes and he got in trouble for it....i knew the dudes who was stealin em lol


but yeah


them bastards NEVER hired me lol

i interviewed for em back in college when like you said EVERYBODY worked there....
i even interviewed later for the fraud dept and was sposed to get hired but i had background ck issues back then...ironically related to the subject of this post lol


but yeah...between MCI and MBNA ...the whole city had a gig there at some pt

=======================================
Coolin...

APAC (All People Are Customers). It was right by Martin's West, next to what used to be the AT&T building
. Nothing but high school seniors, community college and coppin/morgan students, and a few old heads in there.
Good ol days. Had the baddest broads working in there.

My cousin did like a three-year bid and it could have been *a lot* longer. Even though we were kind of close as kids, I never trusted him. He had a bad combination of considerable physical strength and big-time insecurity. His mom's family (our in-laws) was also a fucking nightmare and they played a role in his turning to crime. I spent about a week with him after he got out and went back to NY. There was a semblance of normalcy but I am not a herb, I have been around plenty of dirt and could tell that was a facade. He's been in only limited trouble since but we don't kick it anymore, and really we hadn't kicked it for years before he went to the joint.

My uncle did a short stint for tax evasion. We never had a close relationship because he lived far away and his English is about as good as my French (not good). I think it drew him a little closer with my mom, she is one of these people who needs to take care of everyone who hurts or fucks up or both. In his case it was both, his health got pretty bad with some big blows bookending his time in jail. He used to be a big ass baller but it all pretty much went up in smoke as this was related to a family business so his kids got hit financially also.

Dudes I went to school with, there was a group of three brothers (they had many more siblings, mostly boys, but they were younger) I went to HS with. One beat a rape case only to get murdered later, one did a pretty long bid behind some dumb shit (mix of violence and drug charges) and the other is still in the joint, I'm not sure for what but it has been years now. Last time I saw him he had a big ass scar on his neck like someone tried to slash his throat and a chick we went to school with said "****Z need a saw to cut through that thick ass neck!" One of the younger siblings was stabbed to death when he was 13. It was a sad ass situation, just so much irresponsibility in their home life. Some of the kids were VERY talented in athletics, particularly the one who beat the rape case but later got killed (totally unrelated incident). I saw the oldest brother not long ago and we just said wzup, I didn't wanna ask him about shit and I bet he didn't wanna tell me. He was yoked AF and sporting a lot of tats.

A couple guys I knew in college got caught up selling dope and shit, and another kid was an addict who was in and out jail, mandated rehab, whatever, all the time. I mainly distanced myself from them because of the probation or parole shit they were always dealing with, stress-out shit. The last kid I tried to stay up with but I think he was just carrying too much guilt and shame to do it. I saw him a few years ago when a friend, dude who went through rehab successfully, got married. He was a sweaty ass mess and since he has been on-again, off-again with his various, uh, habits. He was a really nice dude and had a lot of advantages but I think his relationship with his parents was kinda fucked.

I had an upstairs neighbor who did like a 3/4 year bid in Jersey, he was cool at times but underneath it you could tell he was nuts. Classic New Jersey Italian tough guy with a little California twist because he loved to surf. He had a lot going for him but he was angry as fuck and also ADHD as fuck. I knew him after prison so I can't say how it affected our relationship exactly.

The weirdest one was a guy I knew in high school. I always thought he was kind of a dirtbag but cool enough with me. Kind of a passing acquaintance, I guess. He started running with some older kids who were into meth and robberies and what not. He and one of the dudes carjacked some chick and threw her in the fucking trunk. They eventually just ditched the car after possibly crashing it with her inside, that part was fuzzy. This kid was 16/17, we were young, man. The older guy was in his 20s and he rolled HARD to cut a deal. Gave up everything. They tried this guy as an adult. He is still in jail now. He is 35 years old.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

Never seen this dude other than once. Never had a one on one conversation with dude. All I know is word got back to me that he went on a raping spree in Akron. I could tell all he wanted was a father figure in his life but that his father refused to give him one. Without a role model, father figure or the right people in his life he went bad.

I know another person doing jail time for drug trafficking. Know someone else in jail for tax charges and fraud.

I dissuaded 10 people in college to leave the streets alone and it paid off. That streets shit is a trap and not for people that shouldn't have to live that life. If you got wifi, a good home, solid family, child, dog, career then stay out of it and be a square. No shots at all to anyone.

if you don't have shit and never knew shit, then i can't blame you.

but it was a dude on here, i won't guess the screen name but he was a regular poster, his cousin was working at GE or some shit and bailed on a damn near six figure salary to hustle. he got popped at the airport with a brick of c thang or some shit, i remember the thread on here. it's always a shame but it's fucking senseless when you got other options. a little low-level thing among friends i can understand but making it your life i can't get my head around.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

my sister's oldest son. Good kid, kinda lacked direction. My sister had long since moved down to Jacksonville. He still lived here in the Lou. Went to the Army Reserves. Came home, bought a whip, got an apartment and was working a little gig at a store that sold cabinetry for contractors and shit. He had a girl who was studying to be a nurse. They lived together. They loved him at his job, he was very stable. My sister thought he should be doing more...doing better. She decided she wanted to give him a push. She proposed he move to Jacksonville and she would pay to put him through electrician school. But, he had to drop everything here...including his girl and move there. While intellectually, we understood what she was doing, we told her it was a bad idea to force his hand like that. She basically was like, this is a one-time offer. So he did it. He moved to Jacksonville. Broke that young lady's heart, too. Electrician school went well. He took to it very quickly. Graduated and found a job working with a dude who owned his own company. Dude put him in his crew and he was doing jobs with them...wiring new buildings and shit. All good...until he got caught fucking his bosses daughter. Fired him with the quicks. So now, he and my sister are beefing. He's living with her. Hasn't found another job. He bounces around to a couple of friends' houses. Hooks up with some kids he doesn't really know shit about. A house full of mid-20's cats, no one has a job (a legit one, anyway). This goes on for several months. He and my sister speak and he goes back to her crib with the plan of getting back on the grind to get a job and put the certification to use. One night in the middle of the night, cops come to the crib with warrants and drag my nephew out the house. My sister doesn't know shit. The next day she finds out he's being charged with assault with a deadly weapon. Apparently, while he was living with the bum crew...2 of the dudes got into over some weed and one dude shot the other in the leg. Well...when it all came down, they both said my nephew shot him. He maintained to my sister he didn't do it. He said one of the cats shot his boy. So...sis got a lawyer. At the arraignment, the judge spoke real recklessly to my sister. Told her that her son could very well be a senior citizen before he gets out of prison. We were all shook. It was nephew's word against the two cats. We waited, and waited, and waited. Every time they were supposed to have the joint where the state presented their case, the state would postpone or whatever. The lawyer said that was a good sign. Finally, after months of fakin jacks...the state offered a deal without trial. 3 years, including time served (forgive me if I'm saying that wrong, OKlawyers). He said he wasn't going to take it, because he didn't do anything. My other sis went to visit him one day like...dude, your mom is at her wit's end trying to raise your brother's and siser, work a job and pay a G a month for your lawyer. You gonna take this deal, do this time and get out and get your life back on track. So...that's where we are. Back in April, he got accepted to a program where he could basically finish his time at a halfway house type joint. I swooped back up through JAX on the way from Gulf Shores in June and went over there with my sis. I was able to see him for like 2 minutes. I did my damndest not to break down, so as not to make him sad. He gets out Dec. 13th. He'll be 29. Hoping he can do the right things. He's still a young man with a lot of life left to live. I typed this on the fly and didn't edit shit, so...sorry.

man, I never been to jail but it reminds me of the time I moved to Tidewater and some little dudes asked me if I wanted to hang out and kick it at a club with them since I was new to the area. So we headed to the club, I'm in the back seat and these dudes turn the music down and say "circle around one time real quick" and I see dude in the passenger seat pull a glock out the glove box.

Whole time I'm thinking how these dudes cold do a drive by with me in the backseat.

Noting popped off but I never fucked with those dudes again.

went in when he was 18 got out when he was 27.

He just wasn't the same when he came home and I would imagine that would have to do with a big chunk of his "prime" spent in the pen.

nigga snapped on my sister at his coming home party...she asked for a piece of his steak and the nigga went ape shit for bout 20 seconds then he realized he was a free man. He apologized for his institutionalism and we kinda understood after he told us that they didn't get steak but once a year.

Grew up very privileged, with a single father who was an upstanding business exec. In middle school he decided being a street dude was better than the path of his Pop and began on a trajectory which lead him to a State prison--on drug charges. Wound up spending his early 20s locked up. Got out early after boot camp, his Dad opened a Quiznos franchise, basically so he'd be able to keep track of his son and gainfully employed. There was a local tax credit for hiring recently released convicts, so the major part of the sandwich shops labor force was from a women's prison or shelter. God Bro was the night manager, got caught up with one of the women...resulting in some hands off violence with her husband (enacted by his young dudes) which violated his parole so he was sent back to spend the rest of his mid to late 20s behind bars.

We're close, I put cash on his books and sent him books/magazines via that Barnes & Noble monopoly the Pennsylvania state prisons have/had when he was in. I sent letters and photos of willing women, but I refused to visit. He's more like my younger brother than my actual younger brothers. He's been out for prob 10 years. There were some stumbles, in finding employment and with the relationship he has with his 1st kids mother and with his Dad, but he's really doing his thing in a positive way and now has a great life. He named his second daughter after me. I'm amazed by his resilience and more proud of him than anyone else, in how far he's progressed.

My Grandmother died less than a year ago, and I was tasked with finding the problem Uncle my Mother and her Sisters don't really mess with. Day before the funeral I had to drive 4 hours to pick him up from a debtors prison bid at a county jail. Apparently where he lives if you dont pay your municipal fines, they lock you up and make you work in local private company's warehouse for $50 a day, until you satisfy your debt. They gave him a 24 hour furlough. He's supposedly got his life together since, according to Facebook. He is/was Gator, if my grandparents were Ruby Dee and Ozzie Davis.

a year younger than me, grew up in a good household just like me. he got caught up with the wrong crowd I guess. this was before social media and cell phones, randomly ran into him at Guthrie's and on FSU's campus, he looked terrified of whatever his life was becoming
I found out at a house party where people were talking about it, rumor has it he took the charge for someone else but I dont know. something to do with a drug robbery that went wrong. he's been gone since 2001 or 2002

we met in jr high. we became tight as fuck - like his own pops treated me like a second son.

but over time homeboy started to go a little white boy crazy.

first it started out with some scared straight levels of fuck ups. missing school, ditching, stealing shit.

then it escalated.

we met in 7th grade and hung out every gotdamn day up until the 9th grade and then dude took a weird path.

i think he had dormant mental issues that began to express themselves once he started to dabble with drugs and alcohol.

He was a serious latch key kid - he had the house that was right by the jr high and high school so it was no thing to have folks over, but the last time i saw him was at his house....I got super uncomfortable because it was filled with white boy thugs (as in white kids who tried to live the real life - which ok, in my home town if you saw a white thug you had to give some respect because, well, they were still actually really thugs - my home town was a weird place)

anyway, he was DEEP Into rap, rap shit and black girls but then he someone strangely (remember, mental issues) got into satanism, he was a gigantic and i mean HUGE Bone Thugs fan and he began to imagine that they were rapping satanic messages to him

so anyway, long story short, he ends up becoming friends with a tragic ass goth girl and they decide to stab her grandmother to death for her car. they actually do it and made a bonnie and clyde/themla and louise dash and were caught a month later across state lines

he wasn't the trigger puller but he got charged w/1st degree....and ended up attending Morgan.....for a semester lol....he did hella other dirt since ....i remember once we was in the barbershop and he made a nigga get out the chair to go get his $$ he owed him

but yeah.... i'd honestly say at least 1/2 my friends over the years did several bids and/or fed time for something since we was kids

i been to bookings more times than i can count but never no bid

ohh...my younger stepbrother did abt 2 years

=======================================
Coolin...

was in Rikers for about a year and then somewhere upstate for 3.

Streets won't let me chill.

and her new boyfriend. They kept crank calling him and talking shit on the phone and he said "call one more time and I'm coming over there and beating everyone in the house up" Well, she called again and he kicked the door in and went ham. So they go to trail and they offer him a plea deal for 5 years out in 3. This nigga says no, I'm innocent.

Now, he is 6'-3" and 250 and Black as midnight and his ex was 5' tall and white as snow in Western, PA. He grew up in the heights, played soccer and basketball and had a car when he was 16. He was used to getting his way and thought he could beat the case.

My dad was like "wave goodbye to that nigga cause once the judge se's his big black ass he ain't coming home"

He just got out.

Another friend of ours testified against him because he was married to the ex's sister at the time. Just a real shit show

i was a young and stupid urban exploring pre teen.
my friends and I used to hop fences and fuck around on high school, jr high and elementary school campuses.

one thing led to another one time we were exploring (roof hoping) and the jakes rolled us.

we got cuffed and taken downtown.

we were about to go to juvie overnight but our parents came and picked us up before it got to that.


I think I was maybe 12...maybe 14

We all smoked together but dude would smoke one day and then quote bible verses the next day and wouldn't hit the weed. One night he was hanging with some friends at their apartment and one roommate woke up with a gun in his face. Dude asked him if he was ready to meet Jesus and pulled the trigger but the gun jammed. He wrestled the gun away from him and kicked him out. Then he looked around the house and saw his roommate dead with a bullet in his head.

Thing is the dude he killed was the nicest guy on campus. No enemies, cool with everyone.

For weeks we were shook because that could have been any of us.

i'm currently helping someone make copies of all their wiretap documents/audio files.

let me tell you them shits are hilarious.

edit: oh yea my cousin was imprisoned in Jordan and supposedly sentenced to hang but some how a wacky chain of events saved his life(absolute blessings really involving spirit journeys and shit). but not before he was raped and now he's a shell of himself. all because his apartment/dorm was raided and the police found a piece of hash the size of a grain of sand in his apartment. idk how true the death penalty part is but I know my cousin isn't the person I've known him to be...

Was a decently big dealer in college selling E and coke to Upper middle class kids in college. Friend of a friend but since he was the one making money at the time if I hung out with said friend he was footing the bill.

Funny thing is his pops was doing time for some literal gangster shit and he took himself a bit too seriously; he wasn't mean about it but he didn't realize that his pops was gangster because he was dealing with gangsters, this dude was dealing with white kids in Long Island.

Saw some dude he had beef with at a cafe and started kicking shots from his car through the window and that's all she wrote.

Funny enough his right hand man, dude from Africa, did it right...kept it all about the business and is probably running a hedge fund now, LOL. Think Alton from the old real world.

This I probably posted about

i knew a lot of dudes who sold whatever whatever in college and you could tell who was gonna come out ahead and who was gonna come out in trouble. in a beach/college town, you had to be real extra, really reach in terms of being a hardhead or branching out into other territories. the guys who fancied themselves gangsters always ended up with problems, even more than the guys with bad habits themselves. those guys usually ended up getting jacked, finding financial trouble or going to rehab, but if you thought you were doing something beyond fisher price my first dope game, you were going to have a problem. that was even more pronounced in a big city, even being a college kid dealing with other college kids. the guys who got mixed in with the hood ended up dead or with a near-death experience. you find out just how fuckin cheap life is, real quick.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

The main reason we kicked it because my brother and his uncle were best friends so he always was around. His momma had died and he had a terrible temper. Always getting into fights (almost never won them). He dropped out at some point. Ran into him years later and he seemed to be doing good (nice car) but still seemed a bit off.

My brother ran into him more years later and said he was off. They were hanging and he did a lot of talking to himself and laughing to himself.

Well, he was at a family gathering and got in an argument with his cousin and killed him cold blooded. Like dude was begging for his life.

There was a manhunt as he fled the state and was picked up in FL. Cause of this dude I always thought that Roots Album "...and then you shoot your cousin" was crazy accurate.

On another note, I got a cousin who 50 years ago killed a judge on the bench. Rolled up in the courthouse with a shotgun and shot him just like in that Nas song. Crazy story I am slightly in awe of.

"what's a leader if he isn't reluctant"

Most of it was for petty shit but like half the kids I grew up with ended up in jail and it wasn't shocking at all when I would hear about them doing time.

Damn near all the bad kids who liked to fight over dumb shit as kids? All of them did time.

My cousins oldest son tried to rob a bank.

My boy who lived behind me named Christian, in and out of jail.

His older brother.. in and out of jail.

The family right next door to them? Dude robbed a federal post office and they broke regular scheduled program to show him running through the wood with boxes. Smh. Few years later he is standing next to me in church trying to change his life around.

My 3 older cousins... jail, jail, jail. Oldest one somehow because a constable and now he goes and picks up people to take them to jail... but he still smokes hella weed. lol.

Another dude who was my rival because we dated the same chick saw me at the bar with my wife years later. He was on some cool shit talking about how he turned his life around and was doing right by his daughter. THE NEXT WEEK he got knocked with a gun and drug in his car. Just got out last year.

The amount of people I know in and out of jail is kind of staggering.

Another good friend was on that shit and was robbing churches. My dad asked him when he graduated after he got out and he was like "I wasn't in college" my dad was like nigga I know.. lol. He was a good kid too. Never got in trouble growing up.

White dude in my town did 15 years. He was moving major weight from AZ to Pittsburgh for years and when the Feds leaned on his boy he snitched fast as hell.

Fucking rust belt ain't no joke and it's why I moved. My sister saw me heading down that road after HS when I would kick it in the summer at home.

TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*

father - drugs and weapons

cousin - drugs

cousin - drugs

cousin - attempted murder

aunt - robbery, had her first baby in prison

cousin - drugs, he's a crackhead

cousin - drugs, we had to clean out his apartment after he got locked up and found boxes of bullets everywhere

a bunch of friends in college for running a drug ring in the dorms

......no snitching

IMMEDIATELY after their sentence.

when i was a kid

also some friends i grew up with

my best friend was facing 5 years but he got probation. i remember sitting next to his mom freaking out because the way the read sentences with probation is confusing as shit

>I would say for at least one year.



>Who was it, and if you don't mind telling it, what happened?

It was my uncle. he was accused of being responsible for the death of a homeless man. He was 'homeless' himself at the time - it was allegedly a dispute over drugs and stolen property

>How did it impact your relationship with them?

it's awkward. I kinda grew up with my uncles, living in close proximity to - sometimes WITH - my grandmother. we used to be tight, but at a certain point there was the 'age gap' he was out in the streets doin his thing. He'd just come to Cali from Michigan to 'start over' and within a week he was locked up.

He hella institutionalized now. it's weird.

there was one dude I knew from middle school / high school

we were friendly but we weren't tight and never talked after graduation.

like...8 years later he was about to get a tryout with the lions (late bloomer athletically, had a brother on the team already) and then...killed his fiancee and tried to commit suicide.

sentenced to 20 to 50


www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

Behind some TRULY stupid shit.

He got in an argument in his apartment complex, in New Orleans. This led to a low level fight, which led to him going to his trunk and taking a few shots at dude, which missed.

He was NOT a street cat. Mid 40's, architect, master's, in New Orleans doing urban planning post-Katrina. While he wasn't a thug, he was a country boy from South Georgia, and stayed strapped.

That shit always bothered me, and I wasn't surprised when I got the call. Louisiana is famous for throwing crazy time at cats to get them to accept a plea. My boy must have thought there was no way they were going to lock up a middle aged professional, so he didn't accept the plea. Wrong...

So when he gets out, he'll be in his mid-50's with a felony prison record. Not a good look.

My uncle had been in and out of jail all of my childhood. The last time he got pinched for attempted robbery and rape. Still says he didn't do it but he's up there for life. My brother got caught up in the drug game in the 80's/ early 90s. That sent him to jail the first time. Then guns was the second time. The last time was for robbery and murder of the robbery victim. The incident happened ON MY BLOCK smh. I went to see him for the first time in a long time last year. It was a good visit because I surprised him. Now his son whom he only really knew as a baby just got violated.

SMH

That fucking crack law. He got out after 15 years thanks to Obama changing that crack/coke hypocrisy. He is still an ignorant and crude dude, and I live far away so we don't have much of a relationship.

He did teach me how to 3-way dial so he could call different women and I put the phone down. So there's that.

I'd like to sit down and talk to him about the shock of coming back to Internet and shit. He went in around '90. Got out round '09. Talk about a culture shock. But I think he's to ignorant to just sit down and have a conversation with. Unfortunately.

as an inmate. I couldn't even see him on his deathbed bc I needed the Warden's permission. by the time she got back to me he had died.

My uncle was in the same correctional facility as my dad during the 80s. On sundays, me, my grandparents and my great-aunt would drive to the correctional facility to see them both. EVERY SUNDAY.

I have a 2nd cousin that served Fed time on some DUMB SHIT. She worked for a non profit as CFO or something and she racked up 180,000 in personal expenses on the company's card. SMH. She had to pay back like 150K and spent 2 years in Fed prison.

He's been in and out since like the early 90s

One caught a big federal drug charge, but ended up not doing serious time. Died of a drug overdose later on.

Other brother has been in and out on all sorts of insane charges that all stem from drug use. We don't really have a relationship. I was very close to my brother who passed away.

Especially now since my grandma passed. All the guards know he's no violent danger, and they let him all outside the gates to take us back to our cars & shit. It's crazy.

He and 2 other students went on a robbery spree and murdered 2 men in the process. Capital murder charges, but they gave him a plea deal (which led to snitch rumors). It was kinda nuts for a few days cause they were in hiding.

It's even crazy now re-reading the articles on it cause the streets/spots mentioned are literally where I grew up
