SLIP-N-SLIDE RAPPER RELEASED ON BAIL

 

Slip-N-Slide rapper Plies was released from the Alachua Jail Monday (July 3) after posting a $50,000 bond.

 

Plies, born Algernod Lanier Washington, was arrested Sunday morning after a brawl broke out when Plies’ microphone was cut off during a performance.  Gunshots followed shortly injuring five members of the audience.

 

Police arrested the Fort Meyers rapper and the three men with him as they attempted to leave the scene. The authorities also recovered five loaded guns and armor-piercing ammunition in the suspects vehicle.

 

According to the Fort Myers News Press, Plies was freed Monday after he posted $50,000. The rapper was being held on charges of illegally possessing concealed weapons, as was his associate Keon D. McRae, who is still being held on $200,000 bond. Another entourage member, Tory Denard Carnegie is being held on $525,000 bond, he has been charged with five counts of attempted murder and one count of carrying a concealed weapon, while Plies' brother, Ronnell Lawrence Layatte, is currently being held without bond on six counts of attempted murder.

 

Currently free on bail, Plies is concentrating his efforts on clearing the names of his associates. A MySpace.com webpage dedicated to the rapper (www.myspace.com/plies) currently displays a message saying: "Free Big Gates, Holly and T-Ro! To everybody who was at the club that night and knows what went down and has credible info holla at me a.s.a.p.!"
