Fabolous Arrested Twice In Two Days
01.17.2003

Fabolous was arrested not once but
twice this week in New York — for
driving with a suspended license on
Wednesday, and for weapons
charges on Thursday.

The rapper, whose real name is John
Jackson, was arrested Thursday
evening in Brooklyn after a
Suburban in which he was a
passenger ran a red light. According
to Brooklyn police, officers saw a
gun handle sticking out of the back
seat when they approached the
vehicle. During a search, a second
gun was discovered. A fellow
passenger named Rascharm Davis
and the driver, Reginald Rivers,
were also arrested.

At an arraignment hearing at the
Brooklyn Criminal Court Friday afternoon (January 17), the rapper was
charged with two counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the second
degree, making the alleged crime a class C felony, according to the
Brooklyn district attorney's office. Jackson faces up to 15 years for the
charge. He was released on his own recognizance.

On Wednesday, the rapper was pulled over for making an illegal left turn
in Manhattan's Lower East Side, and subsequently arrested for driving
his Range Rover with a suspended license. He pleaded guilty in
Manhattan Criminal Court and paid a $50 fine for the charge of
aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, according to the
Manhattan district attorney's office.

Jackson is due back in Brooklyn Criminal Court on February 13.
