Lil Wayne is Officially in Jail!!
March 9, 2010
After a series of bizarre delays, including dental surgery and a courthouse fire, rapper Lil Wayne was finally sentenced today to a year in Rikers. Lil Wayne was greeted by over a hundred fans outside Manhattan Supreme Court, reports the Times, where Judge Charles Solomon handed down the year-long jail sentence. Wayne pleaded guilty last October to felony gun charges for having a pistol on his tour bus in July 2007, and had faced up to seven years in jail if he had not made a plea deal. With good behavior, Wayne could be out of jail in eight months. Defense lawyer Stacey Richman told reporters that Wayne would be housed in protective custody at Rikers, and is planning on continuing to work on music, as he is an "unstoppable musician." EW agrees with the assessment, and makes the daring prediction that the rapper's career won't be hurt by jail time. Wayne told MTV that he has filmed seven new videos in anticipation of today's sentencing. MTV also looks back over the month in Lil Wayne tweeting, including what is assumed to be his last tweet for awhile: "Law is mind without reason. I'll return." Posted By: FEDS TV Staff

Commuter bus driver is shot and run over when attacker steals his vehicle!
March 6, 2010 A private commuter bus driver was shot in the back in Jersey City by a passenger he picked up in Union City this morning and the robber then threw the driver out of the bus and ran him over as he carjacked the vehicle, reports said.
"It was horrible -- I just hope they catch this guy," said a 49-year-old Jersey City man who was walking through the area of Summit and Pavonia avenues when the robbery and carjacking occurred at 12:17 a.m.
The witness did not want to be identified out of fear that the assailant would come after him.
"He was thrown on the street and when he landed half of his body was still under the van so when he took off, he ran him over," said the witness, who called 911 and ran to the aid of the 48-year-old Guttenberg man driving for K & T Express, also of Guttenberg. "He was screaming before, but when he ran him over, he was really screaming."
The driver was later listed in stable condition at an area hospital, but police would not say where he was being treated. Police later found the commuter bus, a Ford Areobus, abandoned a short distance away at Beacon and Oakland avenues. It was impounded.
The witness told police he had gotten off a PATH train at Journal Square on his way home and was about 60 feet from the bus when the robbery occurred.
"I didn't hear the shot, I heard some guy screaming and then he was thrown out of the van. I thought it was a passenger," the witness told The Jersey Journal this morning. He said the van was facing north on Summit Avenue and the driver was thrown out he landed in the middle of the street.
When the gunman sped away in the bus its rear wheel ran over the driver's midsection, the witness told police.
"I was right up on him," the Jersey City man said, adding that he did not realize the driver had been shot. "I saw blood coming from his side but I thought it was from getting run over. He was just screaming. I couldn't hear any words, I just heard screaming. He was conscious the whole time. He looked critically injured."
The driver told police he picked up the gunman on First Street in Union City and when the bus arrived at the scene of the shooting, the man was sitting in the right front seat and was the only passenger aboard. The man took the driver's wallet and shot him, reports said.
The robber is described as being between 18 and 20 years old with short hair and wearing a black jacket and black hat, reports said. Anyone with information on the crime is asked to call the Jersey City police department tip line at (201) 547-JAIL.
