After spending 11 days in jail, Maybach Music Group rapper, Gunplay ,
was released from a South Florida jail today. The 33-year-old Miami
native must now remain on house arrest until his robbery case goes to
trial.
According to NBC News , Gunplay, born Richard Morales, was sent home
on $150,000 bond because prosecutors failed to show he was a threat to
society as a free man.
"The state did not prove that Mr. Morales was a flight risk or a
threat to the community," said hisattorney Michael Grieco in an email
statement to NBC News. "He should be home with his family shortly.
This is first step in clearing his name so he can continue his
emerging music career."
The "Rollin'" rapper was charged with second degree aggravated assault
with a firearm and armed robbery with a firearm stemming from an April
incident with a Florida tax man. Much of the altercation was captured
on videofootage form a camera in the victim's office. Prior to turning
himself into authorities earlier thismonth, Gunplay had avoided a
warrant for his arrest since May.
The rapper experienced a raised profile after being involved in a
brawl with 50 Cent's entourage outside the 2012 BET Hip Hop Awards.
These robbery charges could land Gunplay in jail for life if convicted
