Yungeen Ace has been arrested for possession of a gun in Jacksonville Beach, FL, and is currently being held in custody. According to arrest records obtained by HipHopDX, the rapper (real name Keyanta Tyrone Bullard) was arrested on Monday (April 15) at about 8:15 p.m. after sheriffs pulled his rented SUV over for failing to stop at a four-way intersection. He was initially arrested for failing to produce a valid driver’s license, but a subsequent search of the car revealed the rapper had seven guns — which he is not allowed to carry, in the state of Florida, as a convicted felon.

It appears that a struggling chain may have recieved a desperately needed lifeline. The restaurant industry has been in a tailspin since covid, especially in the casual dining and bars segment. Many major chains have been heavily discounting food and drink in order to bring people in. Recently TGI Fridays has $5 Happy Hours and appears to be doubling down on the bar scene again.
