Bobby Shmurda Sentenced to Four Years on Prison Contraband Charges

In 2015, Brooklyn rapper Bobby Shmurda (real name Ackquille Jean Pollard) was caught trying to smuggle a “sharp metal object” into Rikers Island. Pollard reportedly took a plea deal back in February and accepted guilty charges for promoting prison contraband, which could add 1.3-4 years to his current sentence. Now, TMZ reports that Pollard has been sentenced to four years in prison on the contraband charges. However, he will not serve additional time; the four-year sentence will run concurrently to his current prison term.

Bobby Shmurda was arrested on gang conspiracy and gun and drug charges in 2014. This past September, he took a plea deal, accepting a seven-year sentence. Shmurda initially pleaded not guilty to the charges, but claimed in court that his lawyer forced him to take the deal. In an interview, he explained that he was also inspired to take the deal because it lessened the sentence of his co-defendant Chad “Rowdy Rebel” Marshall.
