Juelz Santana Issues Statement On Arrest

Laron James aka Juelz Santana of The Diplomats and founder of Skull Gang was arrested earlier this morning from which seemed like domestic violence disturbance. His rep, Lynn Hobson had this to say.

Lynn Hobson, Juelz' rep sent this statement:

"Police were called to Juelz Santana's Home in Teaneck, New Jersey at 10am after an argument between him and his son's mother. LaRon James p/k/a Juelz Santana was then arrested and after review of the incident, police quickly released him. Santana is now back at his home." Lynn also claims that Juelz' son was no where near the argument.

(Note: I understand that if neighbors hear an argument between a man and a woman outside their fancy gated community condo, they have the right to call in the disturbance. I also know that if police pull up and see that argument, they have to treat it like a domestic incident (with both the man and the woman being questioned). But it seems like the way it was originally presented on certain sites and then just changed along the way, was irresponsible.

Man Arrested for Death Threats Against Jay-Z and Beyonce

Words by: Jazzii "TheVoice" Henderson

The Detroit man accused of sending death threats to rapper Jay-Z and wife Beyonce has been arrested and charged by police. The charged man's name is Leon Desmond Barrett and reportedly sent the couple more than a dozen letters from December 2006 to April 2009. He was also charged for sending death threats to football star and sports commentator Jerome "The Bus" Bettis. One letter dated August 18th, 2007 read"I'm getting ready to start killing some more people. Beyonce, Jay-Z, Jerome Bettis and Tune-up Man are the first four people I'm getting ready to kill". Even though the 37 year old still denies the allegations he has been charged for threatening communication. There is no word on Barrett's reason for the threats and no one else involved has spoken out about the incidents.
