An alleged associated of 50 Cent was arrested in Hartford, Connecticut early Friday morning (August 3) after he fired a gun in a crowd of people over a dispute for a chain.

According to Hartford Courant, 26-year-old Dwayne McKenzie -- who claims he works for 50 Cent -- was arrested after the incident that took place at 1:50 a.m. on Friday.

Police say McKenzie fired a .40 caliber handgun following an argument with 25-year-old Adolfo Yepez, who reportedly stole his platinum chain, valued at $100,000.

The paper reports that officers subdued McKenzie, who has a permit for the gun, and found the gun in his front pants pocket. He told police he hadn't fired it, but when police checked, the gun was missing three rounds.

He also told police Yepez pushed him and stole his chain during the argument, which is when McKenzie pulled out a gun and waved it in the air during the argument. He said he started running and heard a blast as he ran.

McKenzie, who told police he lives at the rapper's mansion in Farmington, faces one count of unlawful discharge of a fire arm and first-degree reckless endangerment, while Yepez has been charged with third-degree robbery.

Both men are currently free on bond and are scheduled to appear in Superior Court in Hartford on August 14.
