The Feds Catch Up with Jimmy Henchmen

The Feds finally caught up with Jimmy “Henchmen” Rosemond earlier today in the middle of Manhattan, only a few blocks from his Czar Entertainment offices. Rosemond will now face federal drug trafficking charges and whatever else the prosecutors may have up their sleeves.

NBC NY reports:

Rosemond, owner of Czar Entertainment, was taken into custody by Drug Enforcement Administration agents who got a tip that he was at the W Hotel in Union Square, law enforcement sources tell NBC New York. He was arraigned in federal court in Brooklyn, and did not enter a plea.

Sources tell NBC New York that Rosemond, who is known as “Jimmy Henchman” and has managed Brandy, Sean Kingston and The Game, fled and was chased by marshals up Park Avenue. He was carrying a fake I.D. and a passport application in a fake name, sources said.

Authorities believed Rosemond, who lived in Brooklyn until he went on the run in recent months, was planning to leave Thursday for the Bahamas.

Jimmy Henchmen Cronies Charged with Murder of Tony Yayo Associate

Last month federal prosecutors charged Rodney Johnson, 37 and Brian McCleod, 40 with the 2009 murder of Tony Yayo associate Lowell Fletcher. According to the feds, Johnson and McCleod arranged and carried out the murder of Fletcher as retaliation for the widely publicized assault on Henchmen’s teenage son back in 2007. You may recall that Fletcher basically took the fall for Yayo, who was believed to be the person who actually smacked the kid around.

In other news, something about Dexter Isaac’s now infamous jailhouse confession doesn’t smell right. The Smoking Gun received the same statement from Isaac as AllHipHop, but passed on publishing it for whatever reason. Their analysis of the confession raises a few questions about the validity of the claim, as does this post by Miss Info. In any event, the Feds are investigating Isaac’s claim and are out diligently trying to locate Henchmen, who is still on the lamb, so no doubt we’ll be hearing more about these stories real soon.
