Since being arrested back in December 2014 on multiple felony charges, Epic Records signee Bobby Shmurda hasn’t had much go in his favor since. On Tuesday June 23rd, The ‘Hot N***a’ rapper was arrested once again, but this time for “promoting prison contraband” after he allegedly received a “sharpened metal instrument”. The Class D Felony is defined as “knowingly and unlawfully introduc[ing] any dangerous contraband into a detention facility,” or, “Being a person confined in a detention facility [who] knowingly and unlawfully makes, obtains or possesses any dangerous contraband” according to the New York penal code. While Shmurda’s October 5th trial date looms near, this new charge will not be discussed, and rather will be addressed at a later date and will be tried in the Bronx Criminal Court. Stay tuned to RESPECT. for the latest updates.
