Juelz Santana Catches Break In Airport Arrest, Still Faces 10 Years In Jail

New York rapper Juelz Santana received some good news in court. This week, the Dipset member had a few charges dropped from his criminal bust.

According to reports, Santana doesn’t have to worry about prosecutors going after a few key charges including possession of an illegal gun.

In total, three of Juelz’s charges were dismissed: being a felon in possession of a firearm, illegal possession of a firearm and possession of a controlled dangerous substance (eight pills of oxycodone). He’ll still have to face an identical gun charge in federal court, and faces a decade behind bars if he is convicted. (Bossip)

On Monday, Juelz appeared in court and had a bail request rejected.

Rapper Juelz Santana will remain in custody after a judge ruled Monday that a proposed bail package was insufficient to allow his release on weapons and drug charges. Judge James Clark 3rd rejected the bail package for The Diplomats founding member, whose real name is LaRon James. Another court date has not been scheduled, his lawyer, Brian Neary, said.

During his jail stint, Dipset’s Cam’ron and Jim Jones have flexed their support for him.
