Local news outlet Fox 5 reported that Boosie pleaded not guilty to the gun possession charge on June 22. Despite facing legal challenges, he was released on a $100,000 bond, which was initially denied by two judges. However, his release comes with certain conditions, including regular drug testing, staying within the United States, and avoiding contact with his security guard, who was present during his arrest. Boosie's trial is scheduled to begin on July 28.
As previously reported, Boosie's arrest stemmed from a traffic stop on May 6, where police claimed to have observed him with a handgun while he was on Instagram Live. Subsequently, a firearm was found in his vehicle. Boosie has been vocal about the alleged racism and the "evil intentions" of the prosecution, which he believes influenced the judges' decisions to deny his release despite having paid his bond in cash.
