Famous rapper Tsu Surf was recently arrested on October 13 in New Jersey on RICO charges.
According to Fox 5 New York, Surf was arrested by the U.S. Marshals Service New York/New Jersey Fugitive Task Force at around 1.30 pm. He was transported to the Essex County Jail in Newark, N.J., where he is currently being held.
Surf was reportedly arrested at his residence, where he was staying with an unidentified woman. Sources revealed that Surf attempted to flee through the backdoor but the house was already surrounded by the authorities. After realizing that, he entered back in and locked himself in the house until crisis negotiators arrived and he surrendered.
Tsu will appear before a judge in federal court on October 14. Regarding the legal issues, his manager Qua Bellamy spoke to Lisa Avers, saying that he is in good spirits and is preparing to deal with a federal law enforcement matter. Avers posted a video on her Twitter account, stating:
“He says he’s also making plans to take care of his family and the business associates who depend on him. Qua also says that Tsu does not know the severity of the situation yet, but is preparing for the worst and praying for the best.”
