International music act,Chris
Brown and rapper Lil Wayne are under investigation for their connections to a
well-known Miami drug dealer who is under trial
Miami music producer Harrison Garcia, on trial
for federal drug charges, used Instagram to upload photos of himself posing
with exotic cars, stacks of cash, and rappers Chris Brown and Lil Wayne. But
investigators believe he did more than just party with the hip-hop stars.
Federal authorities on
Thursday revealed they are investigating a $15,000 wire transfer last year from
Brown to the bank account of Garcia, who boasted that the money was for drugs
and the popular cough syrup-and-soda known as “lean.” And Garcia, when he was
first arrested last October, confessed that he sold Lil Wayne “a lot of
narcotics,” a federal agent testified on Thursday in Garcia’s trial for drug
dealing.
...jurors got to see
evidence of Lil Wayne — whose real name is Dwayne Michael Carter — and Brown’s
involvement in the form of text messages seized from Garcia’s phones.
The messages appeared to
show Garcia directing his “do-boy” to deliver drugs to Lil Wayne and his crew.
“I’ll shoot u some trees,” one message read, a reference to marijuana. “It’s
for Wayne,” Garcia allegedly responded via text.
The text message about
Brown was more explicit. Garcia sent a bragging text message to a woman of a
screen shot of the $15,000 bank deposit from “Christopher Brown” into his
account.
“Look who put money my
account,” Garcia wrote.
The woman responded:
“What that for LOL”
Garcia replied with
several smiley face emojis: “Drugs … lean and sh-t.”
On cross-examination,
defense attorney Lage grilled Agent Selent about the screen shot, suggesting
the feds were really targeting the rappers.
