World's dumbest drug dealer pulls marijuana filled car into a gas station to get gas at a pump right next to a police officer. What could go wrong? 🤷
An officer with the Oak Lawn Police Department initiated a traffic stop on a white sedan after observing the driver execute an illegal turn into a Marathon Gas Station lot. While questioning the driver—who appeared noticeably nervous—the officer detected a strong odor of cannabis emanating from the vehicle.
The driver denied smoking and insisted he had just left work. He also informed the officer he works for people's gas and they test them. This prompting the officer to step over to an adjacent black sedan to investigate whether the smell was coming from there instead.
The officer approached 19-year-old Jayshawn Rucker, who was standing outside the black sedan. When questioned about the odor, Rucker claimed the car belonged to a friend and denied any ownership. Looking through the front passenger window, the officer spotted a bag of cannabis in plain view on the seat.
When asked to produce identification, Rucker refused and immediately took off on foot. The pursuit went through residential yards and narrow alleys behind nearby apartment buildings. Officers eventually intercepted Rucker near a row of commercial trash dumpsters.
Weapons & Narcotics Recovered
During a pat-down search immediately following his restraint, officers discovered a loaded semi-automatic handgun equipped with an extended magazine tucked into his waistband.
A subsequent search of the black sedan turned up distribution-level quantities of illegal drugs and packaging materials, including:
201 grams (~7 oz) of cannabis, packaged into 13 individual bags
16 Xanax bars
5 grams of psilocybin mushrooms
A 200-count box of sandwich bags and digital scales
Rucker was taken into custody and formally booked on the following charges by the Cook County State's Attorney's Office:
Armed Violence
Aggravated Unlawful Use of a Weapon (2 counts)
Possession of Cannabis with Intent to Deliver
Possession of a Controlled Substance with Intent to Deliver (2 counts)
Possession of a Controlled Substance
Resisting/Obstructing a Peace Officer.
If dude works for someone and they lost all this product, I don't think it's going to end well for him.
This old supermarket in Japan was founded in 1951 and is closing after 75 years because the building has deteriorated. The shop owners and workers took one final bow as the doors closed for the last time.
More than 40 years ago, I arrived in Chicago in search of an idea. I was a young man looking for purpose, who believed deeply in America, was inspired by the Civil Rights Movement, and wanted to be a part of something larger. The America I believed in was one where everyone has opportunity, everyone is seen, everyone belongs—because that was an America that had a place for me, too.
🔥🚨DEVELOPING: CEO of Jay-Z Roc Nation Desiree Perez was arrested in 1994 for possession of 35 kilos of cocaine with intent to distribute and again in 1998 for grand larceny and possession of a firearm which led to her becoming the feds “star mole.”
The club manager, with close ties to Beyonce and Jay Z, has a ‘lot of power’ inside rap mogul’s Roc Nation Sports which he husband Juan Perez (OG Juan) is now president of, she is a legitimate federal informant.
She and co-defendant Amaury Lopez faced at least 10 years in prison (Lopez was supposedly one of at least three men to marry Perez since the late 1980s). But Perez cooperated; in return for telling the DEA everything and “putting herself at substantial risk,” as one prosecutor put it she was sentenced to 30 months in a military-style boot camp program in 1995.
Many of the records in Perez’s case were sealed soon after her arrest. But one transcript from a June 11, 1996, court hearing obtained by The News shows the feds were pleased with their “star mole.”
“The defendant has really worked closely with these agents,” assistant U.S. Attorney Laurence Bardfeld told a judge that day, arguing to keep Perez out of jail.
Miami-based defense attorney Alan Ross told the judge that his client “wore a wire on no less than the four or five occasions when she’s been down there in Puerto Rico.
“And I think the court knows from its experience that you just can’t do anything more dangerous than wear a wire and go into an undercover meeting in Puerto Rico with a known violator, one whose (sic) suspected of or being investigated for a murder case down there.”
The transcript describes how a mutual “regard and respect” developed between Perez and the DEA special agents she worked with to bust Colombians moving cocaine shipments of 50 to 100 kilograms.
In 2015, Dame Dash said he needed to have a “one-on-one” with Jay Z about the matter. Dash said the feds had been after him “for years” and had arrested some of his colleagues, including Kareem “Biggs” Burke, who founded Roc-A-Fella with Dash and Jay Z in 1995. In 2012, Biggs was sentenced to five years in prison for conspiring to distribute more than 100 kilos of marijuana.
If any other rapper was surrounded by someone with these allegations they would lose their career and possibly their life but Jay-Z has been able to do anything because he existed in a world that ran on favoritism, a world that has cease to exist.
