Mobb Deep's Prodigy and the Alchemist were arrested early Thursday (October 26) in New York for weapons-possession charges, after being stopped for a traffic violation.
According to the New York Post, Prodigy (real name: Albert Johnson) was driving a $120,000 bulletproof SUV at around 2:15 a.m., when he made an illegal u-turn, which prompted police to pull over their vehicle.
When officers approached the SUV with flashlights, they allegedly saw Prodigy attempting to conceal something. After a search of the vehicle, a .22 caliber pistol was found in the front center console.
Both Prodigy and the Alchemist (real name: Alan Maman) were arrested and charged with criminal possession of a weapon.
Prodigy was released on $7,500 bail, while the Alchemist was released on his own recognizance.
After their arraignment, Prodigy called the charges "bullsh--."
