The Associated Press reported that a Georgia judge ruled that the “ABG” entertainer was prohibited from driving. Bowman was also legally subjected to drug testing to stay out of jail.
In July, Bowman crashed a car weeks after being released from jail on a $100,000 bond. Authorities expressed that emergency responders administered Narcan to Bowman. Narcan is widely known as a drug used to remedy opioid overdoses. Prosecutors explained that Bowman exhibited overdose symptoms at the scene of the crash.
Elsewhere, Tsu Surf was sentenced to five years in prison. According to The Daily Voice, the battle rapper pleaded guilty to conspiracy and possession of handguns and ammunition by a convicted felon.
U.S. District Judge Susan D. Wigenton handed him the sentence in November. The judge also said the artist would be fined $15,000 and serve three years of supervised release.
He previously faced up to three decades in prison. However, the rapper, né Rahjon Cox, struck a deal with the government for a shorter sentence. The New Jersey artist was included with 42 members of the Rollin 10s Neighborhood Crips hit under New Jersey’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations statute. He was one of 10 members to face federal charges in the round-up.
