Marshawn Lynch Takes Deal In DUI Case

Marshawn Lynch has accepted a plea deal in his Las Vegas DUI case just hours before his trial was set to begin. Lynch’s misdemeanor DUI will be reduced to misdemeanor reckless driving. However, he must complete community service, DUI school, pays a fine, and completes a year of probation. “Mr. Lynch has not been convicted of any offense at this time. He has agreed to complete certain requirements which will result in this case being closed as a reckless driving traffic offense,” Lynch’s lawyers said in a statement.

Lynch was arrested in August 2022 after being found asleep at the wheel of his Shelby GT500. Officers said that Lynch was “uncooperative” and he was arrested on suspicion of DUI amongst other charges. Previously, Lynch’s lawyers had argued that the DUI be charged should be dismissed as his vehicle was parked and stationary at the time of his arrest.

Marshawn Lynch Accused Of Breaking Fan’s Phone

However, it’s not the only trouble Lynch has found himself in as of late. In January, a Seahawks fan accused Lynch of breaking his phone outside a Seattle bar. Jose Lozano claimed that Lynch damaged his phone after taking issue with Lozano trying to take a photo with him. According to Lozano, who made his claims to TMZ, he approached Lynch for a photo outside Xtadium after being denied a photo inside. This point, Lynch reportedly yelled “Y’all motherf-ckers are weird.” He then knocked Lozano’s phone out of his hand, ending the video of the interaction Lozano had been taking. Lozano then claims that Lynch grabbed his phone and damaged the screen before leaving.

It’s unclear why Lozano had been filming Lynch outside the bar when he claims that he only wanted a picture. It’s possible that Lozano was attempting to antagonize the former Seahawks star by approaching him after being directly told that Lynch didn’t want to take pictures. However, Lozano also TMZ that he doesn’t intend to press charges as he’s a fan of Lynch. Despite this, Lozano did express a wish that Lynch hadn’t “been so rude”. Lynch previously knocked the phone out of the hands of a man at LAX in 2017 after the man tried to take pictures of him.

Breaking Down Quando Rondo’s Legal Troubles

Rising star Quando Rondo has recently found himself entangled in legal troubles once again. Over the years, the Savannah rapper has garnered significant attention for being involved in multiple legal issues. His series of legal challenges have also cast a shadow over his promising career. Quando Rondo was recently arrested for a DUI, but this pales in comparison to his other controversies. Most infamously, he was linked to the murder of King Von in 2020. This negative publicity has led some fans to question their support for Rondo. However, others have continued to rally behind him, believing in his innocence.

Born Tyquian Terrel Bowman, he first gained widespread popularity with his breakout single “I Remember,” featuring Lil Baby in 2018. Since then, he has built a dedicated fan base and collaborated with prominent artists in the industry. But as aforementioned, he’s been making headlines more for his troubles with the law.  Here, we’ll delve into the several legal issues surrounding Quando Rondo.

On March 15, 2019, Complex reported an incident involving Quando Rondo and Youngboy NBA. A lawsuit had been filed against them by YoungBoy’s former tour manager and DJ, Carl Capers, alleging assault, battery, and emotional distress. According to the lawsuit, on December 21, 2018, during a concert in Florence, South Carolina, the two artists got into an argument with a fervent fan. Capers asserted that he, YoungBoy, Quando, and their entourage were taken backstage by venue management after the confrontation escalated.

Capers further claimed that, while backstage, he was assaulted by Rondo and YoungBoy. He contended that Rondo, without provocation, initiated the incident by attempting to force him back onstage to quell the fan disturbance for the safety of their team. While Capers refused, he alleged that both Quando Rondo and YoungBoy immediately assaulted him, causing him to sustain a cracked tooth, bloody face, and injuries to his reputation.

2020: A Public Altercation With King Von

One of the most significant incidents involving Quando Rondo was the highly publicized altercation that took place in November 2020. The rapper was linked to a violent confrontation outside a nightclub in Atlanta. The rift eventually led to a shoot-out that resulted in the tragic death of King Von. The incident sparked a heated debate about the circumstances surrounding the altercation, and raised questions about self-defense, as Quando Rondo claimed that he and his entourage were acting in self-defense during the confrontation. 

According to TMZ’s report on the matter, Quando had been taking a nap outside the nightclub. Soon after, he woke up to the sight of King Von and his entourage approaching him and his associates angrily. Video footage captured the moment Von threw punches at Quando Rondo before the subsequent gunfight ensued. 

Following King Von’s death, Quando chose to remain silent regarding the incident until two weeks later when he revealed his track “End of Story.” Through the song, he spoke on the shooting, addressed his role in the event, and once more asserted that he acted in self-defense. Notably, he expressed solidarity with his friend Timothy Leeks, also known as Lul Timm, who faced charges related to the murder of King Von.

2023-2024: Drug Charges And A DUI

Via HotNewHipHop

In June 2023, Quando Rondo faced trouble with the law when he was apprehended in Chatham County, Georgia. He was charged in connection to drug sales and gang activity. Prosecutors asserted that he was implicated in the sale of marijuana. Despite these charges, Rondo secured his release on a $100,000 bond a few days after representatives from Atlantic Records had appeared in court.

A few weeks after his release on bond, however, he was involved in a car crash and displayed symptoms of a possible overdose. In response, prosecutors filed a motion seeking to revoke Rondo’s bond. Nevertheless, the motion was rejected. He was, however, barred from driving, until the conclusion of his trial on the drug and gang charges. Several months following his release on bond, the rapper found himself in FBI custody facing federal drug charges, even though he was already on bond for state drug charges. 

On February 6, 2024, Quando Rondo was arrested and taken into custody in Georgia. The charges were for driving under the influence and reckless driving. Moreover, this arrest is linked to the aforementioned 2023 car accident involving the rapper. Unsurprisingly, Quando Rondo has been released once again, this time on a $4,600 bond. Hopefully, this will mark the end of his encounters with the law.

Mo’Nique Slams Tiffany Haddish For DUIs On “Club Shay Shay” Following Shady Husband Comments

Mo’Nique’s Club Shay Shay interview finally dropped today, and expectedly, some of her comments have already stirred the pot. She responded to Tiffany Haddish, for one, who threw a bit of shade her way in 2018. When asked about her take on Mo’Nique calling for a Netflix boycott because she was allegedly lowballed, Haddish made a questionable comment to GQ about her husband, Sidney Hicks.

“I don’t live her life,” Haddish said at the time. “I don’t have that husband of hers. I’m looking at how [Netflix has] opened up so many opportunities for black females and comedy. When my people are dying, that’s when you gonna catch me protesting. I’m not gonna protest because somebody got offered not the amount of money they wanted to get offered.”

Mo’Nique Brings Up Tiffany Haddish’s DUIs And Child Grooming Allegations

According to Mo’Nique, however, Haddish might be better off with someone like Hicks. She brought up Haddish’s DUIs and her child grooming allegations during the interview, noting how she herself hasn’t dealt with anything similar. “When I saw that – it’s like Tiffany, if you had a husband like mine – you may not have two DUIs,” she explained. “If you had a husband like mine – you may not be caught up in what looks like you could have been grooming a child.”

“And I say all of that no judgment, but when you speak about having a husband like mine – you open up the door,” Mo’Nique also added. “And I’m saying to you – if you had one like mine you may not sit in these positions you can’t explain the next day or it’s a hard way to go.” What do you think of Mo’Nique’s recent comments on Tiffany Haddish?

Quando Rondo Hit With DUI Arrest: Details

Quando Rondo has been going through a bevy of legal issues over the course of the last few months. However, it appears as though things have gotten worse for the artist recently. In a new report from WOTC, it was revealed that he was arrested for allegedly driving under the influence. Interestingly enough, this was not for a recent offense. Instead, it was an arrest made in connection with an alleged incident that took place back on July 19th in Chatham County. All of this information was confirmed by Jonah Pine, the rapper’s attorney.

The details of the incident are pretty grim as the rapper was allegedly speeding in his car. Subsequently, he crashed into someone else, and when first responders showed up to the scene, Quando Rondo appeared to be going through what seemed like an overdose. He was consequently given Narcan and was able to recover. Now, he could face some very serious charges which only add to his growing list of legal problems.

Tiffany Haddish Accepts Plea Deal In LA DUI Case

In November of last year, Tiffany Haddish was arrested and hit with her second DUI. The arrest reportedly took place after the comedian fell asleep behind the wheel of her car, where authorities found her parked improperly. She was released only hours later, and back onstage doing stand-up in record time, despite facing two misdemeanor DUI charges. “I prayed to God to send me a man with a job, preferably in uniform. God answered my prayers,” she joked onstage that same evening.

Luckily for her, however, those misdemeanor charges have since been dropped. The Haunted Mansion actress appeared in court in LA today where she accepted a plea deal. As part of the agreement, Haddish was convicted of reckless driving and pleaded no contest to the traffic violation, according to TMZ.

Tiffany Haddish Pleads No Contest To Reckless Driving

This means that Haddish won’t be spending more time behind bars any time soon, though her Georgia DUI case is still up in the air. “Ms. Haddish has agreed to a simple vehicle code violation – not driving under the influence, which has been dismissed — and looks forward to this being behind her,” her attorney Alex Spiro says. Following her arrest, Haddish shared plans to “get some help” in order to avoid something similar happening again in the future.

“This will never happen again,” she told ET in November. “I’m going to get some help so I can learn balance and boundaries.” It’s unclear what exactly Haddish has in mind in terms of help. In recent weeks, however, she appears to be back to her typical online antics. What do you think of Tiffany Haddish getting her two misdemeanor DUI charges dropped? What about her accepting a reckless driving conviction? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

DaniLeigh Receives Sentence For DUI Hit & Run

In May of 2023, DaniLeigh was arrested for a DUI hit-and-run near Miami Beach. The performer was reportedly seen speeding and swerving in and out of lanes and eventually struck someone riding on a motorized scooter. She dragged the individual for almost a block before witnesses alerted a nearby police officer, who pulled her over and conducted various field sobriety tests.

Unfortunately, she didn’t pass and blew almost twice the legal limit. An empty bottle of vodka was also found in the back of her vehicle by an officer on the scene. Her victim received treatment at a local hospital, where he was diagnosed with a kidney laceration and a spinal fracture. She was handed multiple felony charges including driving under the influence, DUI damage to property, and causing bodily injury. Shortly after her arrest, she was released on a $1K bond.

Haddish appears to be headed in the direction of taking both cases to trial after pleading not guilty.

Despite the severity of the circumstances, Haddish has still been willing to make light of the situation throughout. Right after being released on bail from her most recent arrest she popped up at a comedy show. While there she was able to crack jokes about the situation, but she had even more in the tank.

Hours before the arrest, Tiffany Haddish appeared on stage at the Laugh Factory Hollywood. She performed for a crowd of Thanksgiving feasters as part of the club’s 43rd annual free Thanksgiving feast for the community. During her set, she reflected on hard times, citing years of her life when she too relied on community events to get a Thanksgiving meal. Haddish also had scheduled performances on the evening of her arrest, which she managed to attend on time.

Immediately after her release from police custody on November 24, Tiffany Haddish referred to the incident during her stand-up comedy set on stage. After a fan, who presumably saw TMZ photos of the arrest, inquired “What happened last night?” Haddish fired back “You tell me. I don’t know. I prayed to God to send me a man with a job, preferably in a uniform. God answered my prayers.” The joke served as a humorous pacifier for the crowd, allowing the comedian to transition quickly back to her prepared material.

Like the latest arrest, Haddish quickly utilized her platform to make light of the situation with her trademark brand of upbeat humor. After the incident, Haddish appeared as a guest host on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, where she addressed her arrest. “Yes, I did get charged with a DUI, which stands for Dumb Unfortunate Incidents,” she said.

According to her, however, that couldn’t be further from the truth.

“I got nothing but love for all of you – even the people that think I’m spiraling out,” she told fans during an Instagram Live earlier this week. “Ain’t no spiral here, honey. Mm mm. Just some cleaning. God’s cleaning house and woke me up. It’s time to wake up! She woke! Woo, she woke! And it feels so good. And look. Look at that. New boundaries, new limits.”
