Boosie Badazz Facing 15-Years In Prison After Self-Snitching

Boosie Badazz Facing 15 Years In Federal Prison

As Dreddsworld previously reported, Boosie Badazz was dragged back into another legal mess, getting arrested by federal agents right after his court hearing today.

The Baton Rouge artist was arrested on the night of May 6 during a traffic stop on Market Street in the Chollas View neighborhood after officers say they found two loaded guns inside the vehicle.

Boosie, real name Torrence Hatch, was facing a charge of being a felon in possession of a firearm and he pleaded not guilty on Monday, May 15. Yesterday prosecutors in San Diego dropped all charges against Boosie – even though they had a virtual airtight case against him.

Unfortunately, Boosie was arrested by federal agents outside the courtroom as soon as his gun case hearing wrapped.

Boosie’s own mouth may have ruined his chances of beating the case. In a recent podcast, the rapper snitched on himself, revealing that he has people on his team specifically there to lie to police, if they are ever found with guns.

Boosie is likely to be charged with a federal offense, a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g), the law preventing felons to carry firearms. A felony conviction, whether rendered in state or federal court, can come with more than imprisonment and a fine.

Under a federal statute, it is illegal for any person found guilty of an offense punishable by more than 1 year in prison to possess a firearm or ammunition. Further it is unlawful for a person convicted of a felony to ship, transport, receive, or possess a firearm or ammunition.

Possessing a firearm or ammunition when prohibited by federal law – whether as a convicted felony or meeting other criteria is punishable by imprisonment for up to 15 years and/or a fine.
