A member of the
Atlanta-based group Dem Franchize Boyz was arrested yesterday (June 13) during
a police raid at a local recording studio.
Authorities confiscated
more than 11 pounds of marijuana, $150,000 in cash, two handguns and a stack
of pornography from the Making Money studio in Atlanta.
Sources told AllHipHop.com
that all of the recording equipment was also seized, as well as four cars. DFB member Maurice “Parlae” Gleaton, 23, was one of the men arrested and charged.
"They were
in the bathroom and they were trying to flush a lot of the drugs down the toilet,"
Atlanta Police Officer Richard Light told Channel 2 Action News. "They
just had too much and couldn’t flush it all down."
Two children, who
were at the studio during the raid, were taken into custody and were later released
to their mother.
WSBTV reports that
eight people were arrested, including Making Big Moves Records CEO Anthony Blalock.
The raid occurred after authorities received a tip that drugs were being sold
at the studio.
The suspects tried
to get rid of the evidence after noticing officers on surveillance cameras,
according to police.
