Prosecutors asked to delay his release while they file an appeal, but a federal judge denied that request.
Though Boosie was granted pre-trial release on a $50,000 bond at a hearing on Tuesday, prosecutors quickly asked for that order to be put on hold while they appeal the ruling. But in an order issued Wednesday , the same magistrate judge denied that request.
Boosie was suddenly arrested on June 14 at a California courthouse, just minutes after a court appearance in which charges filed by state prosecutors had been dropped — charges that had been based on that same May traffic stop. Though the state law charges were dropped last week, Boosie is now accused by federal prosecutors of so-called “felon in possession of a firearm,” since the rapper was previously convicted on drug charges in Louisiana in 2011. The charge carries as much as a 10-year prison sentence, but sentences can vary widely based on cooperation and other factors.
