Bankroll Freddie Sentenced For Drug Trafficking & Gun Charges

November 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Bankroll Freddie finally received his prison sentence following his conviction on multiple charges including drug trafficking and firearm possession back in May. According to FBI officials in Little Rock, Arkansas, he received a sentence of 12 and a half years, although it’s unclear which of the Department of Justice-outlined charges this sentence is for. The rapper’s conviction was for charges of on count of possessing and distributing a controlled substance, one count of marijuana possession and distribution, one count of gun possession to further drug trafficking, and one count of furthering drug trafficking crimes through a communications facility.

However, the court also acquitted Bankroll Freddie on various charges, including one count of machine gun possession and other charges in the original indictment against him. This legal action stemmed from a massive drug and gun bust in 2022 that also involved his father and many other arrested individuals. At press time, there isn’t much more information about this sentence, Freddie’s situation, or the other charges that the court acquitted him for. While things could certainly be worse for him, this 12-and-a-half-year sentence is nothing to dismiss.

For those unaware, this whole Bankroll Freddie situation also seriously implicated and caught up a couple of members of his immediate family. Per Arkansas Online, the court denied Freddie’s father, Freddie Gladney, his bond earlier in February. Law enforcement reportedly caught Gladney discussing drugs and weapons with three of his sons, plus arranging sales of contraband with his daughter, via wiretapped conversations. As such, all these individuals emerged as codefendants in this case. Still, not much else has emerged concerning these other codefendants outside of the family apart from the public updates on the Arkansas MC, so there is still some digging to do.

Meanwhile, fans wonder whether or not Bankroll Freddie got his jewelry back, which he requested shortly after his arrest. Considering this sentence and the heaviness of much of the original indictment against him and many others, it doesn’t seem like a likely outcome. Nevertheless, perhaps the near future will provide us with some more updates and developments in this case that could illuminate the situation further.

Bankroll Freddie Found Guilty On Drug & Weapons Charges

April 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

According to an AllHipHop report, a court found Bankroll Freddie guilty of multiple charges related to a massive federal gun and drug bust in Arkansas. Moreover, these charges include possession and distribution of marijuana, along with other controlled substances, plus multiple counts of drug possession with intent to distribute and crimes relating to weapons possession. However, he also reportedly evaded several serious charges with this verdict, although it’s unclear at press time what specific charges he was acquitted for. Furthermore, this legal saga formed part of a wider initiative in the state to strictly and firmly combat gun and drug proliferation.

This crackdown eventually caught up to Bankroll Freddie back in 2022, and comprises a much more large-scale indictment and investigation concerning drug and weapons trafficking in Arkansas. In terms of how the charges connect, the FBI reported that gun distribution and possession played a role in advancing the primary drug trade that the indicted individuals worked in. In fact, this litigation accused two specific gangs, the Every Body Killas and the Loady Murder Mobb, of being at the center of narcotics activity in the state. Still, it’s unclear how deep the rapper’s guilty verdict ties him into the other aspects of this case, particularly these groups.

Not only that, but Bankroll Freddie’s link to illegal drug and gun activity in his state is, according to the FBI, a family matter. The Arkansas MC, real name Freddie Gladney III, apparently involved himself in this scheme through his father Freddie Gladney Jr. and through a few siblings, as well. Their evidence is alleged wire-tapped audio that details the drug dealing plot and how Gladney Jr. supposedly gave his children different roles to fulfill. However, this is all hard to scrutinize given the little information readily available on the case for the average user who will come across this case online.

Meanwhile, what do you think of all this? Will the “Water” spitter be able to come back one day and continue his career or is this the tail end of a tragic tale? However you may feel, let us know what you think down in the comments section below. For more news and updates on Bankroll Freddie, stick around on HNHH.

Bankroll Freddie’s Alleged Drug Operation Run By Family: Report

March 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Bankroll Freddie’s alleged drug trafficking operation was also reportedly run by members of his family. Moreover, Freddie faces charges of gang violence and drug trafficking and is at the center of an FBI investigation in Arkansas. According to Arkansas Online, the court denied bond to his father Freddie Gladney on Tuesday (February 28). Furthermore, officials allegedly caught him on wiretaps discussing weapons and drugs with three of his sons and arranging contraband sales with his daughter. After this discovery, all family members implicated are codefendants in the case and investigation.

“I do believe in the presumption of innocence,” U.S. Magistrate Judge Joe Volpe expressed about the situation. “But the wire cases really bring a new facet to the analysis and the strength of the case and you really get to hear about what’s going on and understand what’s going on with an individual.” To elaborate, the rapper faced indictment last November on weapons and drug conspiracy charges. Not only that, but the charges came after looking into the activities EBT and Lodi Murder Mobb, two rival street gangs who faced concurrent investigation.

Furthermore, additional evidence presented in a hearing showed that Gladney involved several of his offspring, including Bankroll Freddie, in the operation. Also, he dealt large quantities of cocaine and marijuana, and allegedly at one point offered to “cook” crack for a son for $100. Moreover, authorities and spectators alike expect him to be in custody for the foreseeable future. What’s more is that the judge stated that no conditions could prevent Gladney from selling drugs by any means possible. Meanwhile, the rapper is still incarcerated in an Arkansas federal prison. In December of 2022, Judge Volpe ordered him to remain in jail while a trial surfaces.

However, more curiously, Bankroll requested that authorities return the property they seized in his arrest. These include various jewelry items, and the court denied such requests for return. While this seems like a much larger case than originally imagined, the circumstances behind his actions definitely shifted with this revelation. Regardless, come back to HNHH for more updates on this story and the latest on Bankroll Freddie.
