Hot Boyz rapper B.G. aka Christopher ‘Dorsey’ formerly of Cash Money Records and the CEO of the record label Chopper City Records was arrested on Tuesday (Nov. 3rd), in New Orleans on a felony gun charge after being pulled over by authorities, according to reports
UPDATE:11/11/09
Contrary to some recent reports, B.G. is no longer residing in the Orleans Parish Prison following his arrest last Tuesday (November 3rd) on one felony count for illegal carrying of weapons.
“My lawyer got a judge to give me a pre-set bond, so I didn’t have to go to court to get a bond [set],” B.G. explained as to why no bond appeared for him in the Orleans Parish Criminal Sheriff Office’s electronic records. “My lawyer called a judge, and a judge pre-set my bond without me being in front of him. If you get a felony [charge] you gotta go in front the judge to get a bond, but my lawyer called the judge and got the judge to give me a bond without me being in front of him. That put me out 12 hours before I woulda been out if I wouldn’t a had a good lawyer, or if I wasn’t politically connected.”
Gizzle’s good counsel not only sprung him from confinement a half-day early, but attorneys JC Lawrence and Frank Desalvo also got B.G.’s pre-set bond amount reduced.
“The bond, [the court] wanted to set it at a 100,000 [dollars] because of my record,” he revealed, “but the bond end up being like 50,000.”
According to B.G., he was a passenger in but not driving the Chevy Tahoe that was pulled over by officers from New Orleans 7th District on the evening of November 3rd. The vehicle was driven by 28-year-old Jerod Fedison, who B.G. explained to DX was pulled over by NOPD claiming Mr. Fedison had failed to use his turn signal while making a turn.
After stopping their vehicle, police subsequently searched the Tahoe and reportedly discovered three guns, two of which were reported stolen, along with loaded magazines and two additional extended magazine clips.
B.G. and Fedison were both charged with illegal carrying of weapons, while the third occupant of the Tahoe, 18-year-old Demounde Pollard, was charged with two counts of illegal possession of stolen firearms, one count of illegal carrying of a weapon, and three additional charges for possession of Oxycodone, Hydrocodone, and Alprazolam.
