Two members of rapper Key Glock’s entourage were busted – both for packing loaded Glocks – as they made their way into the Governors Ball over the weekend, law enforcement sources and prosecutors said.
Joshua Crutcher, 31, and Dion Michaels, 22 – part of the entourage of the Memphis-based rapper, who was set to perform at the famed New York City music festival – were cornered by security as they tried to enter the VIP area Sunday, the sources said.
Both men were stopped in their tracks as they pulled up to Flushing Meadows Corona Park around 5 p.m., according to a complaint filed in Queens Criminal Court.
Crutcher was found to be carrying a .40 caliber Glock 23 firearm in his waistband, the court doc charged.
The weapon, capable of holding 22 rounds, was loaded with 18 rounds – with one in the chamber, prosecutors said.
Michaels, meanwhile, was driving up to the venue in a silver Ford when a security guard asked him if there were any guns in the car – and he admitted that there was one in the center console, according to the complaint.
The guard found the weapon, a 9mm Glock 43x firearm, nearly loaded to capacity with 9 rounds, one in the chamber, the court doc said.
A magazine was also recovered holding 20 9mm rounds of ammunition, prosecutors said.
A switchblade was also recovered from the center console of the Ford, according to the court papers.
Both men were slapped with various weapon possession charges, including felonies, according to prosecutors.
Crutcher was ordered held on $10,000 cash bail or $30,000 bond during his Tuesday arraignment, and ordered to return to court June 18.
Michaels was released on his own recognizance Monday night, with his next court appearance scheduled for August 13, online court records show.
It was unclear whether Key Glock, 27, was with either of the men as they made their way inside the festival.
Born Markeyvius LaShun Cathey – the cousin of late Memphis rapper Young Dolph – Key Glock released his fourth studio album, Glockaveli, just last month.
His appearance at Governors Ball was part of the Glockaveli tour, which began May 21 and wraps up June 30 – spanning 21 U.S. cities, according to his Instagram.
