Lil Durk Defying Prison Rules, Abusing Phone Privileges
Written by djfrosty on December 19, 2024
Lil Durk will spend the holidays behind bars in California and it appears that his time in prison is already marred by reported infractions and rule-breaking. A new report breaks down why prosecutors want Lil Durk held in detention and also reveals that the Chicago artist is breaking prison rules connected to his phone privileges.
As seen on Law & Crime’s Sidebar with Jesse Weber YouTube program on Tuesday (Dec 17), an exhibit filed by prosecutors in Lil Durk’s murder-for-hire case pointed to the Only The Family (OTF) figure’s alleged criminal interference. That same brief also unveiled that Durk has been breaking the rules at Los Angeles’ Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC).
Despite clear instructions to not engage in three-way calls, defendant repeatedly abused the phone system at MDC to engage in such conduct,” Weber shares in his video report. This was used by the state to illustrate that Durk can’t be trusted to follow the rules if he’s released on bond if he can’t follow the rules while imprisoned.
Durk’s legal team attempted to gain bond for their client earlier this month, offering a bond package that included a pair of homes the rapper owns in Georgia along with $1 million from the Sony Music recording label.
Lil Durk was arrested in October while appearing to flee the country en route to a Florida airport, and was extradited to California to face charges in connection to the murder-for-hire plot originally meant to target Quando Rondo but resulted in the shooting death of Rondo’s cousin in Los Angeles instead.
Durk’s trial will take place on Jan. 7 of next year.
