A second San Diego federal judge has denied federal prosecutors’ requests to keep Louisiana rapper Boosie Badazz in custody for allegedly being a felon in possession of a gun.
SAN DIEGO –
Prosecutors alleged this week that Hatch, who was arrested May 6 during a traffic stop in the Chollas View neighborhood, was found with two guns inside an SUV. Police allegedly spotted Hatch in a social media video with a gun in his waistband, then used a helicopter to track down the vehicle he was riding in.
One of Hatch’s attorneys, Meghan Blanco, said none of the reports authored by the officers involved in Hatch’s arrest mentioned the alleged threat. It wasn’t until after Hatch’s arrest on federal charges over a month later that federal prosecutors claimed officers overheard the threatening statements, she argued.
On Tuesday, U.S. Magistrate Judge Allison Goddard ruled Hatch could be released on $50,000 bond, a decision prosecutors quickly appealed.
