20-year-old Ackquille Pollard a.k.a. Bobby Shmurda, will unfortunately be forced to remain behind bars for an uncertain amount of time, after his $2 million bail package was withdrawn.
Celebrity bail bondsman Ira Judelson initially put up the necessary funds to cover Shmurda's bail, with his "management associates" putting up property as a form of collateral. Spokeswoman for the office of the special narcotics prosecutor in NYC, Kati Cornell, explained how Judelson withdrew from his promise to front the money for Bobby's temporary freedom.
"It's our understanding that the suretor has withdrawn and that no hearing is currently scheduled," Ms. Cornell stated.
Luckily, there is still hope that young Shmurda will regain his freedom in the near future, regardless of how temporary that might be. His lawyer, Kenneth Montgomery, explained how he is aiming to get a new bail package locked down for Bobby as soon as possible.
"We're trying to do a new bond application and are in the process in the figuring that out," Mr. Montgomery said. "We're hoping to get it done within the next week."
Previously, Montgomery fired off about how many of the charges involved in this case don't hold any real weight to back up the allegations set against his client.
"Bobby is not claimed to have shot anyone, he has no drug dealer weight on him. It's simply a gun case and some phone conversations."
We'll keep you posted as more news of Bobby's hopeful release comes to light in the near future.
