While we recently learned that Bobby Shmurda was re-arrested while in custody for possession of a "sharpened metal object," we were short on details of the charges. New information from the New York Daily News alleges that Shmurda was passed the potential weapon by Kimberly Rousseau, an 18-year-old woman said to be his girlfriend.
Rousseau reportedly pulled a "black latex glove balloon wrapped in black electrical tape" out of her bra, and passed it to Bobby. When a guard noticed the exchange and intervened, the aforementioned object was found inside.
NY1 reports that Rousseau is pleading guilty to charges of promoting prison contraband and criminal possession of a weapon. Bobby is said to be pleading not guilty to similar charges.
Shmurda's trial begins in October. We hope these additional charges won't hurt his case.
Rousseau will appear in court next month.
