Yayo arrested in drug and gang sweep


G-Unit member Tony Yayo who is accused punching and waiving a gun at Jimmy "Henchmen" Rosemond's son was arrested in a massive sweep of members of the Bloods street gang.

Police in Queens, New York rounded up 34 suspected gang members on charges ranging from narcotics and weapons possession to robbery, attempted murder and murder.

Lowell “Lodi Mack” Fletcher is a self-proclaimed member of the G-Unit camp who is also under investigation for his role in the assault of Jimmy "Henchmen" Rosemond's son.

In May, Fletcher, 29, was charged with various misdemeanor offenses, for allegedly flashing a gun at Rosemond's son during an altercation in which Tony Yayo allegedly backhanded the teen for wearing a Czar Entertainment shirt.

Czar handles the careers of rappers like Gucci Mane and The Game, who has a long running feud with G-Unit.

Police accuse Fletcher of being a high ranking member of the Bloods.

Also arrested was Robert "Dead Eye" Baley, another self-proclaimed G-Unit member who is a high ranking member of the Bloods allegedly running a drug ring selling heroin, marijuana and other narcotics.

The entire sweep netted almost 5 Kilos of cocaine, 13 guns, two bulletproof vests and $120,000 in cash.

The investigation, known as "Operation Bloodhound" began in September 2006 and included extensive physical surveillance, court-authorized electronic surveillance and search warrants.
