Mozzy turned himself into authorities today & is scheduled to spend 1 year in prison on Federal Gun Charges.
He was originally arrested in January after police discovered a Glock 26 & 16 rounds of 9mm ammunition in his car.
.Mozzy’s charge rises from a traffic stop in January of 2021 in Culver City, California. Police there pulled the “Sleep Walkin” rapper over for traffic violations, smelled burnt marijuana, and searched the car.
They found a Glock 26, 16 rounds of 9mm ammunition, and a “personal use” amount of marijuana. Mozzy was booked and released after posting $35,000 bail.
Later, the District Attorney’s Office rejected the rapper’s case and referred it to a local US Attorney’s Office in Los Angeles. US Marshals picked him up at an unrelated court appearance in Las Vegas.
The rapper and his wife, Sukhjit Singh, went half on a $1 Million appearance bond, and he bonded out on his federal charge.
The rapper himself also wrote to the judge, calling his gun charge a “mistake” he would ultimately learn and become a better person from.
“This case made me realize that everything I have accomplished and built can be taken away because of a single mistake or lapse in judgement,” he wrote.
“I once read that, ‘a stumble may prevent a fall.’ I believe this was my ‘stumble’ which will prevent me from taking a ‘fall’.
I think I needed something like this to give a little more structure to my life.”
