Guest papacita Report post Posted July 4, 2003 I dunno how many people here are into Beans, but here's the story from NBC10.com for anyone that's interested: PHILADELPHIA -- Hip-hop artist Beanie Sigel is wanted in connection with a shooting in West Philadelphia this week that critically injured a man, police said Thursday. Police issued an arrest warrant on Tuesday for Sigel, whose real name is Dwight Grant, but investigators have so far been unable to locate him, said Sgt. Roland Lee, a police spokesman. Sigel is accused of shooting Terrence Speller, 26, in the stomach and foot around 1 a.m. Tuesday. He was taken to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in critical condition, police said. His condition has since been upgraded to fair. Speller told police he was involved in an argument with two women outside the Pony Tail Bar on South 52nd Street before the shooting. He said he was walking away from the bar with a few other people when a Cadillac pulled over. A man whom Speller identified as Sigel got out of the car and asked the two women, "Which one?" He then fired two shots at Speller, police said. The arrest warrant is the latest run-in with the law for Sigel, who is awaiting a preliminary hearing later this month on aggravated assault charges. He also is expected to be arraigned in two weeks in a separate case on charges including carrying a firearm in a public street, possession of arms by a convicted criminal and carrying a firearm without a license, according to court records. Sigel's attorney, Fortunato Perri Jr., did not immediately return a call for comment Thursday. Sigel gained a following with his gold-certified debut CD, "The Truth." He followed that up with 2001's "The Reason," which spent several weeks in the top 10 of Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop album chart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest subliminal_animal Report post Posted July 4, 2003 I hope he goes to jail. But if he does then I hope he really did this. If he didn't, I guess I still want him in jail, but not as much. Sigel's attorney, Fortunato Perri Jr., did not immediately return a call for comment Thursday. He sounds like some skinny balding sleazebag with glasses and a handlebar mustache that has this wise-ass attitude and collects stamps or coins. It's not something you see every day, but then again, that's some fucking name. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ant_7000 Report post Posted July 8, 2003 I like Beans, but its unfortunate thou. Maybe Jay-Z will take the blame for this one too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Dangerous A Report post Posted July 8, 2003 I like Beanie. He isn't my favorite underboss on The Roc (that would be Jay and Freeway) but he is pretty tight. Because I like him, I'll wait for more evidence to come out before I make a judgement. If he did it though, he deserves whatever he gets. If he didn't, then he goes free and continues making hits. *EDIT* I know Jay isn't an underboss. Jay is my fav along with Freeway, who is my favorite underboss.

Guest Ripper Report post Posted July 8, 2003 Well, his attorney is saying that he had nothing to do with it. Lets see what happens Although, innocent or not, if he plans on making another movie, I say throw him in jail to stop the waste of film and the death of millions of brain cells from watching it.
