Plies’ manager David Lee Gay, Jr. was arrested Tuesday (Dec. 11) after cops found 80 pounds of cocaine on him.

According to the Tampa Bay Tribune, Lee Gay was hauled in with several other people after his alleged supplier, Eleazar Gutierrez-Castillo fingered him as a dealer . Atlantic artist Plies was not on the scene. 

Gutierrez-Castillo was arrested just hours before Lee Gay, after he
was caught trying to push five ounces of cocaine to an undercover Tampa
cop. He gave up Gay shortly thereafter and set him up to buy the 80
lbs. of cocaine over several wire-tapped phone calls.

Cops believe Gay bought up to six kilos of cocaine from
Gutierrez-Castillo from September through November, and paid $6,000 for
each, owing $8,000 to Gutierrez-Castillo after they were sold.

After Gay’s arrest, cops raided his house and seized 10 grams of
marijuana, a 9mm Taurus handgun, drug paraphernalia and almost $8,000
in cash stashed in his bedroom. Gay’s rap
sheet lists several federal and state charges, including possession of
cocaine, being a felon in possession of a firearm, possession of less
than 20 grams of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, armed
trafficking, racketeering and several conspiracy charges.

Gay and Gutierrez-Castillo are being held at the Orient Road Jail without bail.

Plies was not reported as being anywhere in the vicinity during the
drug deal or the subsequent arrest. Police have not linked him to the
crime.
