Gillie Da Kid was one of six people arrested Tuesday night after
Philadelphia police and FBI officers discovered nearly half a million dollars
worth of marijuana.
According to the Philadelphia Daily News the arrests came about after FBI Agents
Garrett Kerley and Lynn Monahan visited Levick Street in Oxford Circle to speak
to residents about a December drug bust, which resulted in $6.1 million in crack
cocaine being seized. While canvassing the neighborhood the agents learned of
suspicious activity at two homes on the 1100 block of Passmore Street. Capt.
Chris Werner told the Daily News that the agents passed the information on to
Sgt. Robert Friel and Officer Jeff Galaska from his division, Narcotics Field
Unit 2 and officers set up a stakeout of the homes. After a man drove up and
left one of the houses carrying boxes, Highway Patrol was contacted and pulled
over the driver. Once the team obtained search warrants, they discovered 89
pounds of marijuana in the car and in the houses, valued at approximately $404,000.
"They were supplying numerous drug dealers all over the city, not just
in the Northeast," Sgt. Robert Friel of Narcotics Field Unit 2 told the
Daily News. Officers arrested six people as they tried to leave the scene on
Tuesday (February 8, 2007). Rapper Gillie Da Kid (Sar’d Nasir) was identified
by police as the ringleader of the operation. Nasir formerly rapped with Philly
group Major Figgas. Also arrested were Mark Jeffries, 41; Rhashima Brown, 34;
Regina Little, 27; Garnell Brown, 25, and Izeem Ruffings, 25 – all of Philadelphia.
Each was charged with conspiracy and possessing narcotics with intent to deliver.
Gillie has been making headlines lately for his ongoing feud with Cash Money’s
Lil’ Wayne. He has released several diss songs against Weezy
and claims that he ghostwrote many of his rhymes.
