News: Sticky Not Stuck With Charges
Gun-possession charges against rapper/actor Sticky Fingaz have been dropped. New York City prosecutors decided to drop the case Tuesday because there was no proof that the weapon belonged to the star, whose real name is Kirk Jones.
The folks at Spike TV are breathing a sigh of relief along with Jones, since they've cast the rapper-turned-actor in the lead role of their new TV show "Blade: The Series," based on the comic hero Wesley Snipes made famous on film.
Jones was arrested last October after a housekeeper told police that the rap star left a loaded gun in his room at the Flatotel hotel in Manhattan. However, the district attorney's office could not directly link the firearm with Jones.
His lawyer told reporters, "Clearly [the Manhattan District Attorney's office] did the right thing, and there was a just result because that wasn't his gun."
