Police Raided 6ix9ine's Home In March And Have Now Revealed What Was Found
According to prosecutor Jonathan Rebold, police received a tip from a confidential source claiming that 6ix9ine was in possession of MDMA pills and a revolver. When the cops arrived, they allegedly found three orange MDMA pills and a small bag of cocaine residue in the rapper's bedroom. But that's not all. As the search continued, Rebold revealed that additional drugs — fentanyl and marijuana — were found in a poolhouse on the property, where 6ix9ine's brother was reportedly sleeping. A Glock 9mm was also discovered in the same location.
While the brother does hold a concealed carry permit, it's still unclear whether he was legally allowed to possess the firearm found in the pool house. Reportedly, DNA tests are being conducted on the weapon to verify its connection to the rapper or anyone else involved.
Adding another layer to the already shocking discoveries, the raid report also revealed that someone made an unsubstantiated claim that the MDMA had been mixed into alcoholic drinks and served to females at the home. Prosecutors clarified that there is no evidence to back up this claim, and no victims have come forward at this time. For now, the claim remains just a speculation.
This latest development isn't 6ix9ine's first brush with trouble while on supervised release. In November 2024, Judge Paul Engelmayer sentenced him to 45 days in jail and another year of supervised release after he failed drug tests and violated travel restrictions. This setback came just months before he was expected to complete his original sentence, which stemmed from his release from prison in April 2020. To make matters worse, Judge Engelmayer noted that the rapper still has over 100 hours of community service to complete.
6ix9ine's lawyer, Lance Lazzaro, countered that his client has already clocked 40 hours in the past month and plans to wrap up the remaining service within the next three to four months. For now, the court has issued a stern warning: no guns or ammunition are allowed on the property unless explicitly authorized by a court order, affecting not just 6ix9ine but his family as well.
A hearing is set for May 22, where prosecutors will aim to present evidence concerning the alleged violations, and DNA results from the discovered Glock.

More than a pound of fentanyl seized in Decatur drug raid; bond set at $850K
Aug. 20—A Decatur man was arrested last week after Morgan County drug agents said they found more than a pound of fentanyl and other narcotics during a search of his home and he remained in jail Tuesday in lieu of an $850,600 bond. Agents with the Morgan County Sheriff's Drug Enforcement Unit executed a search warrant Aug. 13 at a residence in the 500 block of Walnut Court Northwest, authorities said. Officers encountered Victor Karl Banks II, 45, along with a juvenile female at the home. Banks was initially taken into custody on an outstanding misdemeanor warrant. Inside a detached garage, investigators reported seizing marijuana, MDMA (Ecstasy) tablets, synthetic cannabinoids, THC vape pens, drug paraphernalia and items believed to be used in manufacturing narcotics. Deputies also said they located a quantity of fentanyl weighing more than a pound. Banks was charged with trafficking in illegal drugs (fentanyl), chemical endangerment of a child, first-degree possession of marijuana, unlawful possession of controlled substances including MDMA and synthetic cannabinoids, obstruction of justice using a false identity, illegal possession of prescription drugs, and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was booked into the Morgan County Jail on bonds totaling $850,600. Sheriff's officials said all seized evidence will be sent to the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences for chemical analysis, and additional charges are possible. Banks pleaded guilty in 2019 to first-degree possession of marijuana and was sentenced to six years in prison. Solve the daily Crossword

Guns or weed? Trump administration says you can't use both.
The Justice Department wants the Supreme Court to make clear that regular pot smokers, and other users of illegal drugs, cannot own guns. WASHINGTON – The Trump administration's aggressive defense of gun rights has at least one exception. The government's lawyers want the Supreme Court to make clear that regular pot smokers – and other drug users − shouldn't be allowed to own firearms. An appeals court has said a federal law making it a crime for drug users to have a gun can't be used against someone based solely on their past drug use. Limiting the law to blocking the use of guns while a person is high effectively guts the statute that reduces gun violence, the Justice Department told the Supreme Court. They're asking the justices to overturn the appeals court's decision. Trump's Justice Department has sided with gun owners in other cases The department's defense of the law is particularly notable as the Trump administration has sided with gun rights advocates in other cases – including one in which they declined to appeal a lower court's ruling against a federal law setting 21 as the minimum age to own a handgun. More: Trump DOJ wants Supreme Court to bring down hammer on gun rules But on the issue of drug use, the government is appealing four cases to the Supreme Court, asking the justices to focus on one involving a dual citizen of the United States and Pakistan who was charged with unlawfully owning a Glock pistol because he regularly smoked marijuana. The FBI had been monitoring Ali Danial Hemani because of his alleged connection to Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard, which the government has designated a global terrorist group, according to filings. The government also alleges Hemani used and sold promethazine, an antihistamine used to treat allergies and motion sickness that can boost an opioid high, and used cocaine, although he was prosecuted based on his marijuana use. Hemani's attorneys said the government is trying to 'inflame and disparage' Hemani's character and the only facts that matter are that he was not high when the FBI found the Glock 19 in his Texas home. Hemani was charged with violating the federal law that prohibits the possession of firearms by a person who 'is an unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance.' More: Supreme Court sides with Biden and upholds regulations of ghost guns to make them traceable Appeals court ruled past drug use not enough to stop gun ownership The New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said that the law can't be applied to Hamani under the Supreme Court's landmark 2022 decision that gun prohibitions must be grounded in history that is "consistent with our tradition of gun regulation." While history and tradition support 'some limits on a presently intoxicated person's right to carry a weapon,' the appeals court said, 'they do not support disarming a sober person based solely on past substance usage.' The Justice Department said the appeals court got it wrong. Laws that existed at the time the country was founded restricted the rights of habitual drinkers, even when they were sober, they argued. 'And for about as long as legislatures have regulated drugs, they have prohibited the possession of arms by drug users and addicts – not just by persons under the influence of drugs,' they wrote. Law used in hundreds of prosecutions, including Hunter Biden's Since the federal government created its background-check system for firearms in 1998, the federal restriction on drug users has stopped more gun sales than any requirement other than the ban on felons and fugitives owning weapons, according to the filing. And it's used in hundreds of prosecutions each year, they said. (Hunter Biden, who was later pardoned by his father during President Joe Biden's final weeks in office, was convicted in 2024 of violating the law by purchasing a gun despite having a known drug addiction.) Hunter Biden trial recap Joe Biden's son guilty on all charges in historic gun case Hemani's lawyers argue that the government's interpretation of the law makes no sense when an estimated 19% of Americans have used marijuana and about 32% own a firearm. That means millions of Americans are violating the law that could put them behind bars for up to 15 years, they said in a filing. The appeals court, Hemani's lawyers said, correctly applied the Supreme Court's past decisions and 'common sense' to rule that 'history and tradition only supports a ban on carrying firearms while intoxicated.' In addition to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, two other appeals courts have issued rulings that restrict use of the federal ban: both courts ruled there should be individualized assessments of defendants' drug use to determine if their rights could be restricted. Trump administration touts program to restore gun rights The Justice Department argues that 'marginal' cases are better addressed on a case-by-case basis, through a federal program the Trump administration restarted that lets individuals petition to have their gun rights restored. The administration's championship of that program makes it less surprising that the Justice Department is vigorously defending the ban on drug users having guns, said Andrew Willinger, executive director of the Duke Center for Firearms Law, a research center. In addition, the administration has shown a broad desire to crack down on illegal drug use. 'In some sense, when those two areas are colliding – gun rights and anti-drug policies – it looks like anti-drug policies are going to win out,' he said. More: Supreme Court rules Mexico can't sue US gunmakers over cartel violence Willinger said there's a relatively strong chance the Supreme Court will get involved, which the justices tend to do when a lower court strikes down or restricts the application of a federal criminal law – especially if the government asks them to intervene. But the high court could also wait to see how other appeals courts handle similar cases and how well the Justice Department's program for restoring gun rights addresses these concerns, he said. The court could announce whether it will take up the issue this fall.

Tekashi 6ix9ine friend Ariela La Langosta shot to death in possible targeted attack
NEW YORK — Ariela 'La Langosta,' a New York-based beauty influencer and good friend of Tekashi 6ix9ine, was found dead inside her car on the Cross County Parkway earlier this week. The 33-year-old model, whose real name is Ariela Mejia-Polanco, suffered several gunshot wounds before her body was discovered behind the wheel of her vehicle on Sunday morning, according the Westchester County Medical Examiner's Office. Police said Ariela's car was located just after 8 Mount Vernon, along the parkway's eastbound shoulder near Broad Street. 'Preliminary investigation determined that the woman was likely targeted for violence and her death was not a random act,' the Westchester County Police Department said in a press release. 'The homicide remains under investigation by detectives from the General Investigations Unit,' it continued. 'Due to that ongoing investigation, additional details are not being disclosed at this time.' Ariela, who boasts more than 560,000 followers on Instagram, starred in Tekashi 6ix9ine's 'Wapae' music video in 2023. The rapper paid tribute to his late friend in a series of Instagram stories following the news of her death, writing in Spanish in one post that she was the 'queen of New York.' He also said she was like a 'sister' to him and that she 'supported him' through everything. 'NY won't ever be the same,' Tekashi added. 'I loved you.' Ikon New York, the Manhattan restaurant and disco lounge where Ariela worked, also honored the influencer on social media. 'She was a brilliant, humble soul with incredible energy — the kind of person who could light up any room she entered,' the restaurant said. 'She will be deeply missed by all of us. Please take a moment to cherish and love your own loved ones. Life is precious.' Starlets of New York, a nightclub in Queens, also mourned Ariela's death, remembering her as 'a beautiful friend, loving mother, and daughter whose smile and energy lit up every room she entered' in a post on Instagram. 'Her energy will forever be missed, but her spirit will always live on with us.'
