Well-known rapper Bankroll Freddie was recently arrested on November 9 in Arkansas on charges of drug trafficking and possession of weapons. According to law enforcement sources, he is part of a 61-count indictment alongside 34 other defendants.
The accused are currently in custody and the recent arrests are part of an investigation that is being conducted on 70 people facing similar charges. The defendants were reportedly in possession of jewelry and cash.
Freddie’s representative has not yet commented on his arrest and as the story is developing, further details are yet to be revealed.
Bankroll Freddie charged with selling cocaine
Freddie, alongside his co-defendants, has been charged with selling crack cocaine and marijuana from March 2021 to October 2022. Freddie is also accused of reportedly having firearms in his possession to assist with his drug trafficking plans.
Freddie’s legal problems started in April this year when he was arrested on gun and drug charges. While the cops pulled him over for speeding, they reportedly found 21 pounds of marijuana, a Micro Draco AK-47 style pistol, and a Polymer 80 9 Glock clone handgun in his possession.
The court passed a verdict the following month that although he had the guns, he had no felony convictions and was never involved in any violent acts, declaring that he was not a threat to anyone. According to Judge Edie Ervin:
“His family and community ties, combined with his very public career, makes it unlikely that he will attempt to flee. Instead, he has every incentive to comply with his release conditions so that he may continue working.”
Although he was released, he had to abide by a curfew from 11 pm to 7 am, restricting him from drinking, smoking marijuana, and contacting felons.
