A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie Arrested On Gun & Drug Charges

A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie was arrested in New Jersey on Monday (December 7) on charges of unlawful possession of a handgun and possession of marijuana.

According to a release from Bergen County prosecutor Mark Musella, the Bronx-born rapper, 25, was taken into custody after a search warrant was performed at his Demarest home, which resulted in the seizure of four guns: a Ruger .380 handgun, a Glock .40 caliber handgun, an H&K 9mm handgun and a Smith and Wesson 9mm handgun. In addition to the weapons, hollow point bullets, various high capacity magazines, marijuana, hashish oil edibles and drug paraphernalia were found. Meanwhile, the rapper's manager Samblou Camara was arrested on a possession of marijuana after his own home in Bergenfield was searched, while a security member Quashaun Hagler, 33, was also taken into custody on unlawful possession of a handgun and possession of a large capacity magazine charges.

The arrests took place after the star celebrated his 25th birthday at a nightclub on Sunday in Teaneck, New Jersey. A shooting reportedly broke out across the street, which left an 18-year-old man in critical condition, but authorities don't believe that the rapper was affiliated with the incident. The search of his home appeared to be unrelated to the shooting. "He is not a suspect, nor did we believe him to be a suspect,” Chief Detective Robert Anzilotti said of the rapper.

Since their arrests, the three have been released on their own recognizance and are pending their first appearances in Central Judicial Processing Court.
