SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Feb 18 – After the February 18
take-down of alleged member of
the 5-9 Brims Bloods gang set,
the Justice Department is
seeking the detention pending
trial of, among others,
Jeffrey Bush, described as
providing muscle for rapper
Cardi B a/k/a Belcalis
Almanzar.
During last
year's trial
of rapper Tekashi #6ix9ine
a/k/a Daniel Hernandez in the
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
, he testified under oath that
Cardi B is affiliated with the
Bloods. Now the U.S. Attorney
of the Eastern District of New
York states: "Defendant Bush
has previously been convicted
of two felonies and two
misdemeanors, including prior
drug offenses. He is also
currently facing additional
felony assault charges in
Queens Supreme Court, stemming
from an August 29, 2018
physical altercation at Angels
Strip Club in Queens, New
York.
Defendant Bush
served as “muscle” for
celebrity rap singer Belcalis
Almanzar, also known as “Cardi
B,” in a fight with two female
employees at the club.
These actions are related to
his role in the August 15,
2018 assault at Angels for
which defendant Bush is
currently charged in Count
Five of the Superseding
Indictment.
For their conduct
in the August 29 attack,
defendant Bush, Almanzar and
one other co-defendant are
charged in a fourteen-count
state indictment which
includes felony charges for
attempted assault with intent
to cause physical injury with
a weapon and attempted assault
with intent to cause serious
physical injury... For all of
these reasons, defendant Bush
should remain incarcerated
pending trial." Inner
City Press will continue to
cover these cases. This case
is US v Jeffrey Bush, et al.,
19-CR-378 (S-1) (DLI).
