Rapper Bobby Shmurda has answered to another case he caught while in prison by accepting a plea deal to extend his sentence.
On Tuesday, Shmurda pled guilty to one count of attempted promoting prison contraband for being caught trying to smuggling a “sharp metal object” into Rikers Island, Bossip reports.
His plea, which will now only extend his sentence to another 1.4 year to 4 years, is apparently a part of his plea agreement that helped him avoid having to spend an extra 7 years behind bars.
“Is it true that on that date…that you did, in fact, possess a white latex glove balloon wrapped in tape with a sharp metal object?” Judge Whitten asked.
“Attempted, yes sir,” Shmurda responded.
The plea was part of a deal to make most of the charges from the incident go away. Prosecutors said Shmurda’s gal pal, Kimberly Rousseau, passed him a “sharpened metal object” during a jail visit to Rikers Island last year. They then said he lied about the incident to the Grand Jury. Rousseau has since pled guilty to promoting prison contraband.
Shmurda could’ve gotten seven years just for the perjury charge had the case gone to trial.
Under the deal’s terms, Shmurda can’t appeal the sentence, and he’ll be barred from voting or serving on a jury once he gets out.
Bobby has been locked up since 2014 and is already serving a 6 year sentence on guns and other violence charges. It is said that he has to serve the rest of his sentence in protective custody because the Bloods have put a target on him.
