Lyfe Jennings Arrested in Atlanta; Faces Criminal Trespass Charges

Singer Lyfe Jennings is facing two new felony charges and three misdemeanor charges after leading authorities on a chase in an Atlanta suburb Sunday night (Oct 19), and refusing to submit to an on-site DUI test, AllHipHop.com has learned.

According to a statement released by the Smyrna Police Department, the platinum recording artist, born Chester J. Jennings, was apprehanded shortly after officers responded to a report of gunshots on Spring Woods Drive in Smyrna, just west of Atlanta.

“Upon their arrival officers encountered the suspect vehicle leaving the area,” the statement reads. “The vehicle was a red 2005 Chevrolet Corvette, later determined to be registered to Chester J. Jennings. Officers entered into a pursuit with the vehicle, which later crashed.”

Speaking to AllHipHop.com under condition of anonymity, a source close to the artist revealed that the gun shots police investigated were the escalation of a domestic dispute.

The 35-year-old singer, who has collaborated with several rappers
including LL Cool J, Rick Ross, Talib Kweli, Young Buck and Bun B, was charged with Criminal Trespass, Discharging a Firearm Near a Public
Highway, and DUI-refusal.

Having served ten years in prison on felony arson charges, Jennings was also accused of two new felony offenses: Attempting to Elude and Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon.

Jennings was released from the Cobb County Detention Facility in nearby Marietta, after posting a $55,200 bond.

A court date has yet to be set.

@ killuminati

"no pun intended" is the acknowledgement of saying something funny about something when you're not trying to be funny.

I just heard about this on the radio, they basically said some shots were fired and he took off and also refused to take a sobriety test, no weapons were found on him but the police are accusing him of shooting at someone, Im not going to pass judgement on this man because it could've been in self defense....@ Killuminati 187 "pun" is short for "punchline", if Im not mistaking.

Been staying in Cobb the last 6 years of my life and they aint usually sweating the little stuff.  I was pulled over one morning about 3 am or so for running a red light and I had been drinking. The cop was a young white cat at that, he told me he would have never even stopped me but some other cop saw me run the light and buzzed him. My personal experience and a lot of cats I know, they dont sweat the small stuff unless you already in there system. So, whether he popped or not somebody put him out there like that.

@ Killuminati 187
a pun is a play on words that sound similar for a humorous effect. It is another form of playing on words.

So "No pun intended" means that they are not trying to be humorous by what they are saying, but they may have used the best words to describe what they are talking about and the fact that they played on words, it was unintentional.

rocafellareppin must be a 40yr old-chronic masturbating-virgin with an oedipis complex, livin in his mommas basement hoping to hear her fuckin one night. I do not appreciate your disrespectful comments toward MissDallasTX, so tell me you a fruit because thats the only way I wont pull it on you. A Queen can argue with a bitch, but If you call yourself a man, you really gon have to cut that shit out, and dont think of goin on no rant on here with me, cuz this aint no internet threat shit. Im as serious as I ca be when I tell you, stop that shit for real.




Shut the fuck up you fat ass nigger... what the fuck are you going to do about it?
Fuckin internet tough guy, I would slap the shit out of your fat bacon eating ass. Guy comes on ahh for the first time and thinks hes a fucking don. What, you think if you stick up for that skifooza that you might get your first piece of pussy? Go use your welfare check and but yourself a clue you fucking faggot. Jesus does this guy think he is scaring anybody over a keyboard? I would look you dead in the eye and call you a DIRTY STINKY FUCKING NIGGER and thats a guarantee.

Screwston-TX said:

Me personally, I cannot and will not pass judgment...  I have all this cat's albums, and based upon his music, he had turned his life around...  He probably does more stuff then the young kids/children (minus this act) than any other artist, as far as self-motivation/confidence, etc.
So with that said, some of these comments on here appear to be some people just wanting to take this opportunity to call someone a thug, or something to that nature...  
How about we grow the flip up...  and see wth actually happened...
Holla...
