B.G. Indicted on Gun and Conspiracy Charges

Another day another rapper in trouble with the law. This time its B. Gizzle

A federal grand jury on Thursday indicted New Orleans rapper B.G. on gun and conspiracy charges, according to the AP

U.S. Attorney Jim Letten said the 30-year-old rapper, whose real name is Christopher Dorsey, faces two counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm and one count of conspiracy to obstruct justice. If convicted, B.G. faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine on the gun charges and up to 20 years and a $250,000 fine on the conspiracy charge.

The charges stem from a 2009 traffic stop in which officers recovered three guns, two of which were reported stolen. Police told The Times-Picayune that B.G. was arrested along with two others in the vehicle, Demounde Pollard and Jerod Fedison.

According to the indictment, B.G. conspired with Pollard and Fedison to obstruct justice by “inducing Demounde Pollard to sign a false affidavit attesting that the rapper did not possess three firearms on Nov. 3, 2009.”

Both Pollard and Fedison have pleaded guilty in the case and are awaiting sentencing, Letten said.
