After eluding authorities for a month, only to be apprehended in New York City on Tuesday (June 21), Jimmy "Henchmen" Rosemond has entered a not guilty plea in response to drug traffic charges.
Rosemond, who was arrested but is being held without bond, has been accused of being the ring leader of a nationwide drug trafficking group. Specifically the organization is said to have transported cocaine and other narcotics between the West Coast and East Coast. The charges claim Rosemond's group is responsible for distributing cocaine in the 100's of kilos range in just past the 2 1/2 years. This activity has been said to have made Rosemond and his group millions of dollars in revenue.
Rosemond's lawyer, Jeffrey Lichtman, purports that his client's charges are based on shaky witnesses that have been coerced or tainted by the DEA and federal prosecutors.
However, U.S. Attorney Todd Kaminsky argued to the court that the defendant should be denied bail because he is a flight risk. He went onto explain that Rosemond was prepared to run when he was arrested because he had multiple fake driver's licenses and communication devices.
Rosemond was arrested in front of the W Hotel in New York City. He attempted to flee, but police apprehended him after a short foot chase. He is CEO and manager of Czar Entertainment, which lists Mike Tyson and "The Game" as a couple of his clients. It is this entertainment business that authorities claim gave Rosemond the means and cover to illegally transport narcotics across the country. and Mike Tyson as two of his clients, was spotted in front of the W
To make matters worse, a current inmate is now claiming Rosemond hired him to rob now deceased rapper Tupac Shakur in 1994. Although Shakur survived the attack, he was assinated in Las Vegas in 1996.
