The Infamous...Big Meech and BMF

by Ran

Demetrius Edward Flenory was born on June 21, 1968 in Cleveland, Ohio. He was the first child born to Charles and Lucille Flenory. His younger brother, Terry Lee, was born two years later in the family's new home - Detroit. The two brothers (and their sister, Nicole) grew up in southwest Detroit, close to the small, nearby cities River Rouge and Ecorse (which was in bankruptcy from 1986 to 1990) in the shadow of Motown. The Flenory brothers came of age during the 1980s, when their impoverished hometown was besieged by the ravages of the crack boom. Local headlines were dominated by the exploits of notorious local drug organizations such as YBI and Pony Down. The evening news also gave extensive coverage to the lives, and oftentimes deaths, of homegrown street legends like Maserati Rick Carter, Butch Jones and Ed Hanserd. Demetrius and Terry reportedly began their criminal careers selling $50 bags of crack in the mid-1980s as teenagers. Demetrius, who was known as "Meechie" around this time, dropped out of high school in the tenth grade at the age of 16 to devote his full attention to the drug business and the brothers quickly progressed to selling two kilos (4.4 lbs) worth of cocaine a week. Before the 1980s came to a close, Demetrius made his first trip to the city that would become his adopted home - Atlanta, Georgia.

While not members themselves, the brothers developed strong ties to a Northwest Detroit gang called the PA Boys - named after their base, Puritan Avenue. The PA Boys, however, were under intense scrutiny by law enforcement throughout the 1980s and 90s. Demetrius' association with PA Boys members, such as Damone "Slim" Brantley, Reginald "The Dude" Danzy, and one of the organization's enforcers, Thelmon "T-Stuck" Stuckey, who would later be sentenced to life in federal prison, is what initially brought him to the attention of the Drug Enforcement Administration. 

In 1988, Demetrius was sentenced to two years probation following a conviction for drug possession. In the mid-1990s the brothers traveled to California seeking a direct connection to foreign suppliers so as to cut out all of the middle-men and thus, keep more money for themselves as well as to reduce the number of people with knowledge of their dealings. They were eventually introduced to Mexican cartel sources through California drug trafficker Wayne "Wayniac" Joyner.

 

The brothers laundered their drug proceeds through a taxi service that Terry founded using the money that he was awarded by a settlement of a malpractice suit following a botched eye surgery. In 1994, Demetrius and a Colombian accomplice were arrested on drug charges which were eventually dropped due to insufficient evidence. 

By the mid-1990s, the brothers had expanded outside of Detroit and even Michigan. They began making inroads into other states including Kentucky, Georgia, Missouri, Texas and California. When the dominant cocaine traffickers in Atlanta, Georgia, the Miami Boys, were dissolved as a result of a string of federal convictions in the early 1990s, the two took advantage of the situation and quickly took steps to fill the vacuum. After negotiating with local distributors to become the new dominant suppliers in the area, Demetrius relocated to the city in order to oversee operations in the region.

Despite being arrested numerous times beginning in his late teens, Demetrius avoided serving prison time throughout his long criminal career. In February, 1996, Demetrius was arrested at an Atlanta strip club, Magic City, and charged with assault. He was accused of throwing a bottle at another clubgoer and slicing his neck. The charges were eventually dropped. On October 4, undercover U.S. Customs agents were given $300,000 from employees of the Flenory brothers in a cocaine buy in Michigan. On the 29th, ICE agents seized a quarter of a million dollars from Flenory associates during a drug transaction in Detroit. That same day, Sherman Oaks, California police seized $576,000 in cash from Terry Flenory's long-time girlfriend, Tonesa Lynette Welsh. On October 3, 1997, police in Spalding, Georgia seized $143, 221 in cash from suspected BMF member Martez Jackson. On October 30, Demetrius was alleged by the DEA to have murdered a federal informant in Atlanta. Though he was never charged, he was believed to have been the shooter in the murder of Dennis Kingsley Walker, a Detroit drug dealer who had become one of their cooperating witnesses. This incident triggered a low-priority investigation of Demetrius by the DEA.

In 1998, Demetrius was arrested during a raid of one of his Atlanta stash houses. He was charged with felony obstruction and marijuana possession. On May 10, 1999, police in Polk County, Texas seized 18 kilos of cocaine from employees of the brothers. That same day, Beaumont, Texas police seized $424,190 cash during the arrest of Flenory associate Bruce Martin. In 2000, Demetrius was arrested for DUI in California. That same year, Terry permanently relocated to Los Angeles in order to oversee the receipt of the cocaine shipments from Mexico. While they remained partners, the brothers effectively split the organization into two halves with each overseeing his own distinct subgroup from his respective base of operations - Demetrius in Atlanta and Terry in Los Angeles. Reportedly, during this time period the Flenory's previously un-named organization began to be called the Black Mafia Family, or BMF. It's worth noting that BMF is also a ready acronym for the nickname of one of the it's founders - Big Meech Flenory. On December 2, 17 kilos of cocaine were seized by authorities during the arrest of a BMF associate in Flagstaff, Arizona. On February 5, 2001, Kansas City, Missouri police confiscated 9 kilos of cocaine from a BMF member.

BMF grew to over 500 members and operated in 11 states including Georgia, California, Missouri, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Kentucky, New York, Texas, Alabama and Michigan. The organization dominated the drug trade in Atlanta and other cities largely due to the lower prices they offered to distributors. Because they obtained their cocaine wholesale directly from a Mexican cartel for $9,000 per kilo, and thereby bypassed the usual middle-men costs, BMF was able to pass the savings on to street dealers - at $17,000 per kilo. The Flenorys' direct connection to Mexico also allowed for a purer product, estimated to be 90% pure, which they in turn marketed to distributors. BMF named their special brand of cocaine "Hummer", and reaped the profits derived from it's enormous popularity with lower-level dealers and ultimately, the users themselves. Investigators estimate that BMF was selling 600 kilos per month.

After nearly 15 years of more or less staying under the radar of both the general public and law enforcement, Demetrius began to raise his public profile not long into the 21st century. Demetrius became a regular figure on the Atlanta, GA club scene and was usually accompanied by dozens of BMF members - all adorned in t-shirts bearing the organization's abbreviated moniker. He and his entourage could frequently be seen at the famed strip club, Magic City. Demetrius and BMF are widely credited with popularizing the practice of "making it rain", wherein a large amount of money is thrown into the air so that it can shower down onto a stripper. Two days after his birthday in 2003, he threw a party to celebrate the occasion at music mogul Sean "P. Diddy" Combs' restaurant, Justin's. An afterparty was held at one of his suburban stash houses,  nicknamed the White House. The year 2003 would not only mark the beginning of BMF "going public", it would also usher in the beginning of serious and permanent scrutiny by several law enforcement agencies. 

On January 26, 2003, $723,790 in cash was confiscated by a Texas Highway Patrolman during a traffic stop in Gray County, Texas from BMF couriers and Detroit residents Brian Ronell Garnett and Kim Vernell Williams. Both were arrested on money laundering charges. On August 14, 2003, Oxford County, Arkansas police seized 27 kilos from a BMF member. The Atlanta investigation into BMF in the city of Atlanta was triggered by an attempted robbery at the home of the organization's CFO, William "Doc" Marshall. One of two intruders was shot after an exchange of gunfire at Marshall's townhouse on September 7. Local police who arrived at the scene recovered a kilo of cocaine and reported an empty walk-in safe on the  premises.

On October 28, a law enforcement coalition comprised of the DEA, IRS and the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Eastern District of Michigan formed an initiative named Operation Motor City Mafia - a task force solely devoted to bringing down BMF.

The very next month Demetrius' anonymity was permanently destroyed when his public reputation as a world-class partier was forever eclipsed by his reputation to the public and law enforcement alike as a gangster. On the night of November 11, while partying at Atlanta's Club Chaos, Demetrius became involved in an altercation with Sean "Puffy" Combs' former bodyguard Anthony "Wolf" Jones.* Reportedly, Jones was escorted from the premises following a shouting match with Demetrius over an ex-girlfriend of Jones' and instead of leaving, he and long-time associate Lamont "Riz" Girdy waited for the BMF leader in the parking lot, reportedly while leaning on Demetrius' Cadillac. Upon exiting the club, Demetrius and BMF member Ameen "Bull" Hight, a Compton, California native whom Demetrius recruited to BMF in 1999, were allegedly confronted by Jones and Girdy. In the ensuing gunfire, Hight was shot in the foot while Demetrius was shot in the buttocks. Girdy was shot dead and Jones died from gunshots to the chest after being rushed to Grady Memorial Hospital. An anonymous witness (who was never named and never testified) told police that she saw Demetrius fire a minimum of seven shots. Law enforcement recovered 24 spent shell casings after arriving at the scene. Both Demetrius and Hight (who was never charged in the shooting) were confronted by police that morning at Fulton Regional Hospital and Demetrius was charged with two counts of murder. Demetrius was granted bond on the condition that he submit to house arrest, which lasted six months. Though the charges were eventually dropped due to lack of evidence, Demetrius and the shooting itself received extensive media coverage. The fallout from the incident also included a change in city policy as Atlanta nightclubs would subsequently be mandated to close by 2 am as opposed to 4 am.  Not insignificantly, the DEA-led dismantling of the PA Boys neared it's completion six days after the shooting when eight of the organization's leaders were indicted on November 17, 2003.

The most significant consequence of the shooting and subsequent police scrutiny resulted in a permanent rift between the Flenory brothers that likewise caused a schism inside BMF. Terry, who had always been relatively low-key revealed on police wiretaps that he blamed Demetrius for the stepped-up law enforcement focus on the organization and felt that his high-profile and flamboyant lifestyle threatened the organization and the two brothers' freedom. Following the 2003 shootout, BMF was effectively split into two halves headed by each of the brothers. Each half was now comprised of a separate and distinct group of members and while each brother maintained authority over the organization as a whole, very few BMF employees would continue to work with and report to both Flenorys.

The following year, the law enforcement investigation into BMF intensified and Demetrius' increased his public profile even further. In March, Demetrius made his first major foray into legitimizing his organization by entering the music business. He incorporated a hip hop music label, BMF Entertainment, and founded The Juice - a lifestyle and music magazine. The first issue boasted dual covers - one of it's executive editor (Demetrius himself) and another of then-up-and-coming rapper and close BMF associate, Young Jeezy. BMF Entertainment focused on the career of it's sole artist, rapper Barima "Bleu DaVinci" McKnight. McKnight's promotion included high-priced music videos and songs featuring high-profile rap artists (and personal friends of Demetrius) including Fabolous and Young Jeezy, both of whom received promotion in Atlanta early in their careers from BMF. Reportedly, this promotion included paying DJs to play Young Jeezy's songs in nightclubs. During this period, Demetrius commissioned billboards in Atlanta which read, "The World is BMF's."

Throughout March and April, state troopers made several traffic stops resulting in the seizure of substantial amounts of cash and narcotics linked to BMF. One such stop outside of St. Louis yielded over 100 kilos of cocaine. Another stop in Fenton, Missouri turned up over $500,000 dollars in cash.

Tremayne "Kiki" Graham, BMF associate and son-in-law (at the time) of Atlanta's first female African-American mayor, Shirley Franklin, was arrested in April on drug trafficking charges. 

That spring, another law enforcement joint task force devoted to BMF was formed including the participation of the DEA, ATF, HIDTA (High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas program), APD (Atlanta Police Department) and the Fulton County District Attorney's Office. Around this time, federal agents were granted warrants to wiretap members of the organization for the first time. While Demetrius was never caught on a wiretap, over 1,000 of Terry's calls were eventually intercepted.

In June, Demetrius celebrated his 36th birthday at Atlanta's 25,000 sq ft "megaclub", Compound. The ostentatious party included $100,000 worth of rented wildlife including lions, zebras and an elephant.

The year 2004 brought more shootings linked to BMF members as well. On July 25,  Demetrius' third-in-command, Fleming "Ill" Daniels was implicated in another club shooting in which he allegedly murdered Rashannibal "Prince" Drummond in the parking lot of Atlanta nightclub, The Velvet Room. Three days later, $199,690 in cash was confiscated from Martez Jackson by Atlanta police. On September 5, a federal witness, Ulysses "Hack" Hackett and his girlfriend were shot to death in her apartment (the same apartment complex shared by another girlfriend of a BMF member) by gunmen allegedly linked to BMF. The murders are alleged to have been ordered to prevent Hackett from testifying against his co-defendants (all BMF associates) in a federal drug conspiracy case.

October 15 - 17, two separate shootings were attributed to high-ranking BMF members Omari "O-Dog" McCree and Jeffery Leahr. The two were alleged to have perpetrated shootings at strip club, Jazzy T's and nightclub, The Atrium.

In October, Demetrius himself, along with others, including a former bodyguard for rap superstar and entertainment mogul Jay-Z named Hamza Hewitt, was arrested again on minor charges at a police checkpoint established as a result of the recent rash of shootings in Atlanta.

BMF garnered even more headlines in 2005 owing to various incidents involving celebrities. On May 10, then-upcoming rapper Radric "Gucci Mane" Davis shot and killed a home invader in Decatur, GA and was later charged with murder. The shooting victim was one of five perpetrators alleged by Davis' attorneys to have been acting on orders from BMF to rob and/or kill the rapper as part of an ongoing war of words between Davis and fellow rapper, BMF associate Jay "Young Jeezy" Jenkins. Because of the perpetrators' alleged connection to BMF, Davis was questioned by the ATF, DEA and FBI. Davis was the only person involved in the incident to ever be arrested and formally accused of a crime, the charges for which were eventually dropped.

Another high-profile incident took place at a birthday party for the father of R&B superstar Bobby Brown. The party, held May 22 at music mogul Sean "Puffy" Combs' Atlanta restaurant Justin's, was interrupted when two of Brown's nephews, including Shayne Brown, were assaulted and stabbed with an ice pick by two men linked to BMF following a verbal altercation. The two men were reported fleeing the scene in the company of rap superstar Fabolous. The charges were dropped on one of the suspects, Cleveland David Hall, less than a month after his arrest when witnesses, including members of the Brown family, refused to cooperate with police. The other suspect, alleged BMF member Marque "Baby Bleu" Dixson (widely, yet incorrectly believed to be Barima "Bleu DaVinci" McKnight's brother), was shot to death in an unrelated incident in March of 2006.

Terry Flenory, Rapper Loon and Big Meech

On July 11, Terry Flenory was arrested in Illinois after a traffic stop and was found in possession of approximately $4 million in jewelry. Terry was personally delivering the jewelry to Young Jeezy to use in a photo shoot. The jewelry in question was ultimately used to launch a money laundering investigation into Terry, music producer Damon Thomas and jeweler to the stars - Jacob "Jacob the Jeweler" Arabo. Damon Thomas happened to comprise one half of the production duo The Underdogs. He also happened to be reality TV star Kim Kardashian's first husband. The two were married when Kardashian was 19 and lasted from 2000 to 2003.

Federal agencies and local law enforcement made numerous, sweeping arrests of members of BMF near the close of 2005 as they brought the investigation phase of Operation Motor City Mafia to an end. Following lengthy video surveillance and wiretap investigations, high-ranking BMF member Omari "O-Dog" McCree became the first member of the organization to be prosecuted under the wide-ranging federal case against the group when he pleaded guilty to drug trafficking charges on August 9, 2005. Though McCree had initially cooperated with investigators, including describing the scope and history of the organization, he refused to continue providing assistance to law enforcement and as a result was sentenced to 15 years in prison.

Both Flenory brothers were apprehended in October. On October 20, Demetrius was tracked and arrested in a rented $1.2 million-dollar mansion located in a suburb in Frisco, Texas outside of Dallas. On October 27, Terry was arrested alongside other BMF associates in a private home in a suburb outside of St. Louis, Missouri. Demetrius was granted $100,000 bond with the strict stipulation that he remain under house arrest until trial in the custody of his mother, Lucille.

As the number of arrests of BMF members and associates mounted it became clear just how wide the scope of the investigation against BMF was and apparently just how large and widespread the organization itself was. According to an October 28, 2005 press release by the DEA the investigation against BMF involved several law enforcement agencies, including: the United States Marshals Service; ATF; Michigan State Police; Fulton County, GA District Attorney's Office; Atlanta Police Department; Hollywood, FL Police Department and Muscogee County, GA Sheriff's Office. The DEA also revealed the assistance of several U.S. Attorney's Offices, including: Middle District of Georgia; Central District of California; Middle, Southern, and Northern Districts of Florida; Southern District of New York; Eastern District of North Carolina; Eastern District of Missouri; District of South Carolina; and Western District of Kentucky.

By late October, 47 BMF members and associates had been arrested and 635 kilos of cocaine and $14 million in cash and assets linked to the organization had been seized.

On February 1, 2006 high-ranking BMF member Jeffery Leahr was sentenced to 15 years in prison after pleading guilty to cocaine trafficking. His girlfriend, Courtney Williams (who lived in the same apartment complex as Misty Carter - who was murdered at home along with her boyfriend Ulysses "Hack" Hackett in 2004), was sentenced to 5 years after pleading guilty to conspiring to traffic cocaine.

Most of the members of the uppermost levels of BMF went to trial in 2007. In April both Demetrius Flenory's second-in-command, Chad "J Bo" Brown and then-mayor of Atlanta, Shirley Franklin's son-in-law, Tremayne "Kiki" Graham faced trial. Graham was sentenced to life in federal prison for cocaine trafficking and Brown received a lighter sentence as part of an agreement with prosecutors after pleading guilty to cocaine trafficking and money laundering charges. In October, BMF member Ameen "Bull" Hight was indicted on drug charges for which he was sentenced to three years in prison after pleading guilty. By 2007, the federal indictment against BMF included 150 members of the organization, however only Demetrius and Terry Flenory were charged under the CCE (Continuing Criminal Enterprise) statute which can carry a life sentence.

The U.S. government alleged that BMF generated revenue upwards of $270 million throughout it's existence and ordered forfeiture of more than 30 pieces of jewelry, 13 residences, 35 vehicles, and property located in Detroit, Canton, Southfield, Ecorse, Romulus, Lithonia, Georgia and Los Angeles, California. Demetrius reportedly owned the only white Maybach 62, the ultra-luxury sedan brand owned by Mercedes priced at $430,000, in the U.S. at the time, which he'd had shipped from Saudi Arabia.

Owing to the brothers' years-long estrangement and distinctly different methods of conducting business, they faced different charges. Demetrius was indicted on 6 counts: CCE, 4 counts of cocaine conspiracy or possession and 1 count of money laundering. Terry was indicted on 11 counts: CCE, 6 counts of cocaine conspiracy or possession, 3 counts of using a cell phone in violation of the federal Controlled Substance Act and 1 count of money laundering. As he was never caught on a federal wiretap and prosecutors didn't have many witnesses against him, Demetrius had a stronger case than Terry's. However, Demetrius and his defense team decided that a trial would prove too risky as a conviction meant a mandatory life sentence. 

On November 29, 2007 Demetrius pleaded guilty to leading a criminal enterprise before the United States District Court in Detroit. In September 2008, both Flenory brothers received 30 year sentences in federal prison for heading a drug trafficking organization under the CCE statute. Demetrius Flenory is serving his sentence at USP Atlanta (United States Penitentiary, Atlanta), a medium-security federal facility in Atlanta, Georgia and is scheduled for release on February 25, 2032. Terry Flenory is serving his sentence at FCI Pollock (Federal Correctional Institution, Pollock), a medium-security federal facility in Pollock, Louisiana and is scheduled for release on December 14, 2031. 2008 marked the first time that either brother served time in prison, after drug trafficking careers that spanned 20 years.

Several celebrities have been indirectly connected to BMF through their friendships and business dealings with members of the organization. Rappers Young Jeezy, Fabolous, and T.I. have all reportedly benefited from heavy promotion early in their careers by Demetrius Flenory and his organization. Rapper Gucci Mane's attorneys have alleged that he was targeted for assault and attempted murder in 2005 by BMF stemming from a rap battle and business dispute over song rights with Young Jeezy. Two of R&B superstar Bobby Brown's nephews were allegedly stabbed and assaulted by BMF members at a family birthday party at which the singer was present. Basketball hall-of-famers Charles Barkley and Michael Jordan were even questioned as part of a federal investigation into their dealings with BMF associate Tremayne "Kiki" Graham and NFL star Adam "Pacman" Jones financed the legal defense of high-ranking BMF member Fleming "Ill" Daniels during his drug trafficking trial. Celebrity jeweler Jacob "Jacob the Jeweler" Arabo was linked more directly to BMF when he was indicted along with several others in 2006.

By the time he was indicted the Uzbekistan immigrant publicly known as Jacob the Jeweler had amassed a million dollar fortune and established himself as the preeminent jeweler to the hip-hop industry. His clients included a who's who of Hollywood, sports and rap royalty including: Jay-Z, Sean "Puffy" Combs, Leonardo DiCaprio, Paris Hilton, Jennifer Lopez, Allen Iverson, Naomi Campbell, Kanye West, Bono, LL Cool J, 50 Cent, Shaquille O'neal, Elton John, Busta Rhymes, former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, Fat Joe, Ludacris, Ja Rule, Missy Elliott, Ashanti, Christy Turlington, Kimora Lee Simmons, Pharrell Williams, Fabolous, Slick Rick and his first famous client, Christopher "Biggie" Wallace. Arabo's trademark were diamond-encrusted "Five Time Zone" watches typically referred to as "Jacobs" that typically fetched from $5500 to $1 million. Arabo also holds the distinction of having been mentioned in over 40 hip hop songs. Arabo designed and sold several of the diamond-encrusted pendants to BMF which displayed the organization's abbreviated name. The jeweler was eventually accused of conspiring with Terry Flenory to launder drug cash and deceive the IRS so that the younger Flenory could purchase high-end jewelry for himself and other BMF members  without attracting federal attention. After being arrested at his Manhattan store by DEA, NYPD and New York state police on June 15, 2006 Arabo was charged with conspiracy and money laundering. In June 2008, after pleading guilty to conspiracy charges Arabo was sentenced to two and a half years in prison, fined $50,000 and ordered to forfeit $2 million to the U.S. government. He was released in April 2010. 

The federal investigation revealed that BMF employed the use of several suburban mansions as stash houses at which multi-kilogram amounts of cocaine and significant sums of cash were held before being distributed later. The properties, which were assigned nicknames by the organization were located in affluent neighborhoods (typically gated communities) so as to restrict the amount of traffic near the houses and severely hinder any potential law enforcement surveillance on them. Three such homes were located in Georgia: The White House (officially owned by Terry's long-time girlfriend Tonesa Welch), located in the Belair Estates neighborhood of Lithonia, about 20 miles outside of Atlanta; The Gate, located in Buckhead; The Elevator, so named because it had it's own glass elevator; and The Horse Ranch.

Terry Flenory's long-time girlfriend, Tonesa Welch was sentenced to five years in prison for money laundering in 2008. She was released in 2011. 

On March 27, 2008, BMF member Deandre Woolfolk was arrested during a sweeping drug raid by police in Detroit. In 2009, Woolfolk, along with BMF members Darnell Cooley and Eiland Johnson were each charged with manslaughter and second-degree murder stemming from a $50,000 murder-for-hire killing of a witness to another murder.

In 2012, Randy Csehy, former prosecutor for the Fulton County, Georgia D.A.'s office was charged with possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine and ecstasy and two counts of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felon. Csehy represented the state in the case against the Flenorys and BMF.

On May 5, 2020, Terry was released from a Kentucky federal prison and granted permission to serve the remainder of his sentence on house arrest in an effort to avoid contracting COVID-19, which had killed 40 federal inmates and infected 2,300 inmates and staff members. Terry's release date is August 17, 2025.

On April 22, 2020, Demetrius submitted a similar request for compassionate release from the Oregon facility in which he was detained through Birmingham attorney Wade Fink. However, U.S. District Judge David Lawson denied the application pending further review. Prosecutors, including Assistant U.S. Attorney Dawn Ison argued against the elder Flenory's release, citing various prison infractions, including: drug use; and possessing a cell phone and an illegal razor blade, resulting in his temporary placement in solitary confinement. 

After initially being scheduled for release on October 31, 2031, Demetrius earned his GED and was subsequently granted a sentence reduction in 2020. On October 16, 2024, his attorney, Brittany K. Barnett, revealed that her client had been transferred to a residential reentry facility -- or halfway house -- in Miami, Florida. Flenory's sentence will end on January 27, 2026 and he is scheduled to remain under supervision restrictions until 2029.

*Anthony "Wolf" Jones was no stranger to law enforcement nor nightclub scuffles. While working as a bodyguard for music mogul Sean "Puffy" Combs, Wolf was investigated by the NYPD for his role in the December 27, 1999 shooting at a club in New York that resulted in the attempted murder conviction of rapper Jamal "Shyne" Barrow. Immediately following Shyne opening fire inside the now-defunct Club New York, Jones, Shyne, Combs and his then-girlfriend Jennifer Lopez fled the scene. Their vehicle was pulled over by police soon after and both Jones and Combs were charged with possessing an illegal firearm. Allegedly, Jones and Combs had offered a substantial amount of money to Combs' driver, Wardel Fenderson, to claim the gun as his own. Both Combs and Jones, defended by famed defense attorney Johnnie Cochran, were eventually acquitted of bribery and weapon charges.

Jones was also alleged to have been the perpetrator of the September 23, 1995 murder of Jai Hassan-Jamal "Big Jake" Robles - a member of the MOB Piru street gang and personal friend of former Death Row Records CEO, Suge Knight. Robles was shot twice in the stomach and once in the back at a birthday party for music impresario Jermaine Dupri at the Platinum Club in midtown Atlanta, GA. He died in the hospital two weeks later. No one was ever charged in the shooting.
