Flesh Bone of Bone Thugs-n-Harmony Arrested For Gun Possession
Are you kidding me? He just got out after serving an 8 year bid for threatening a neighbor with an AK-47. Here’s the article from the Los Angeles Times once Flesh was sentenced back in 2000. It’s pretty revealing, and offers somewhat of an explanation to the current situation:
Schempp recommended that Howse be placed in a state prison with facilities to treat inmates with mental disorders.
Defense attorney Jonathan Kissel asked that Howse receive a 10-year sentence, saying that trauma Howse suffered as a child has affected the way he functions in society.
Even so, Deputy Dist. Atty. Shellie Samuels argued that Howse should have been sentenced to at least 12 years in state prison. “He loves guns, and every time he is not in custody he seems to have a gun,” Samuels said after the hearing. “I feel sorry that he had a bad childhood and has mental problems, but that doesn’t change our responsibility to protect the public from him.”
The rap artist displayed the weapon Dec. 26 in a Woodland Hills residence during an argument with an acquaintance, officials said.
When Tarrance Vickers, the acquaintance’s brother, tried to intervene, Howse drew the AK-47 out of a baby crib (talk about a visual!), loaded it, pointed it at Vickers and then chased Vickers and his brother, officials said.
Now to the current situation. According to TMZ:
Flesh-n-Bone, from rap group Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, was arrested yesterday evening in Santa Clarita, Calif. for gun possession.
Police say they discovered a gun in Flesh-n-Bone’s car, real name Stanley Howse, and took him into custody. According to the sheriff’s website, he is being held without bail and is currently still in the slammer.
He is due in court on Monday.
