AceShowbiz - Sauce Walka's crew was apparently the feds' latest target in sweeping RICO violation indictment. Fourteen members of the 32-year-old rapper's crew have been arrested in Houston, Texas for gang-related activities.
According to a news release, 13 of the suspects were taken into custody on Wednesday, December 14. They are Anthony Ketchum, 35; Anthony Yezeno-Hopkins, 38; Brandon Milson, 32; Hassani Mills, 34; Jaylyn Pinson, 29; Josue Rodriguez, 32; Keith Moore, 34; Michael Henry, 32; Myles Smith, 23; Robert Thomas, 29; Sterling Brumant, 26; Titus Baisey, 35 and Toree White, 27.
They face charges for various crimes, including drug trafficking, possessing a "Glock switch" and being a felon in possession of a firearm. While it's not clear how this impacts Sauce Walka, the suspects are reportedly members of The Sauce Factory in Houston, which coincidentally is the same crew of the rapper who founded the independent record label TSF in 2014.
Over 200 officials contributed to the apprehension and are on the case. The feds maintain that they are violent criminals and are a threat to the community. The Federal Bureau of Investigation's Houston division announced the arrest and explained their intent.
"For every criminal that we take off the streets, that's one less person being victimized," FBI Special Agent James Smith said. "Guns and drugs. They fuel violent crime. We will keep chipping away at these criminal enterprises to reduce the crime in the Houston area - that's our job."
Ironically, the arrest report comes just days after Sauce Walka clowned Gunna on social media for his plea deal in his own RICO case. He accused the "Pushin P" rapper of snitching to get released from jail.
Gunna's lawyer has denied the snitching allegations though. Defending his client, Steve Sadow posted on Instagram, "Gunna did not snitch to get out of jail. He has said nothing and is not cooperating. His plea statement cannot be used in court against any other defendant. So please stop spreading lies!!!"
