Bone Thugs Rapper Ordered To Stay In Jail

Rapper FLESH-N-BONE will spend another weekend in jail after his court hearing to face charges of gun possession was postponed until next week (20Apr09).

The Bone Thugs-N-Harmony star, real name Stanley Howse, was charged by California cops after he was stopped in Santa Clarita on 2 April (09) for a broken brake light.

The MC is currently on parole for an earlier probation violation and the stop prompted police to search his Canyon Country home, resulting in the discovery of the gun.

Howse has pleaded not guilty to the felony count and claims the weapon belongs to his wife, an officer with the Chicago, Illinois police force.

He was due in court on Thursday (16Apr09) for a preliminary hearing, but the case was pushed back after Howse's attorney presented new information that required further investigation.

But the delay means Howse has to remain behind bars at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Los Angeles until Monday, when he will appear before a Superior Court judge.
