Newburgh, NY - Thirty people were arrested in a drug and gun bust in Orange County that could be one of the largest in the county's history.
Many of the guns and drugs were being sold out of the Real Spice food truck in downtown Newburgh, authorities announced on Wednesday.
Dozens of weapons and kilos of cocaine and fentanyl were seized on May 21 after a six-month-long investigation.
The food truck was also seized as part of the investigation.
"The food truck operated right next door to the city courthouse, within 150 feet of the city courthouse, it sold food, it sold guns, and it sold cocaine," said Orange County District Attorney David Hoovler.
Kirkland Salmon, 42, is the owner and operator of the food truck. He is one of 30 people facing a slew of charges that could carry a 25-year sentence.
Police say the drug and gun trafficking ring had a sophisticated four-tier structure and guns were supplied from North Carolina and drugs, mainly cocaine, came from Florida
Prosecutors say a barbershop served as a stash house for some of the proceeds. It's estimated the enterprise made over $3 million a year.
Nearly 40 different law enforcement agencies partnered in the investigation, including the ATF and NYPD which had some of its undercover officers make purchases.

โIn the glamorous realm of Hollywood, where fame and fortune often go hand in hand, Terrence Howard's recent interview has exposed the less enchanting side of the industry. Howard disclosed the intricacies of his experience with Paramount Pictures, shedding light on the challenges actors face regarding compensation and credits. Notably, his portrayal of the character DJay in "Hustle & Flow" earned him a modest $12,000, but the real revelation lies in Paramount's decision to credit the film's musical performances to DJay rather than to Terrence Howard himself. This seemingly minor detail has significant financial consequences, as Paramount continues to collect royalties from the music, depriving Howard of rightful compensation and residual income for the past two decades.
โThis situation unveils a broader issue within the entertainment industry, where the complexities of contracts and credit attribution often favor studios over individual artists. The blurred distinction between a character's portrayal and the actor's creative contributions can result in disputes over credits and financial rewards. Terrence Howard's case serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by actors in an industry where practices like crediting characters instead of performers can lead to a loss of income and recognition. As Hollywood grapples with ongoing discussions about transparency and equity, Howard's revelation adds depth to the dialogue, prompting a critical examination of structures and practices that may exploit the creative talents of actors long after the cameras stop rolling.
ATLANTA, GA - In a daring act of theft in Atlanta, Georgia, a shocking video captures individuals brazenly pilfering packages from an Amazon Prime delivery truck. The audacious incident unfolded as the delivery driver was occupied dropping off a package at a residence, only to return and find her Amazon Prime truck besieged by bold intruders. This starkly highlights the vulnerability of delivery services, emphasizing the need for enhanced security measures to safeguard both delivery personnel and the parcels they transport.
Local authorities are actively investigating the incident, utilizing the video evidence to identify and apprehend the culprits. The incident prompts a crucial reevaluation of security protocols within the delivery industry. As online shopping continues to surge, it becomes imperative for companies like Amazon to invest in advanced surveillance systems, GPS tracking, and secure locking mechanisms for their delivery vehicles. Simultaneously, fostering community awareness and encouraging residents to report suspicious activities will play a pivotal role in curbing such crimes and creating a safer environment for package deliveries. #reels #amazonprime #georgia #atlanta

Hip Hop artist Dee-1 recently criticized Rick Ross and Meek Mill for glorifying violence in their track โLyrical Easy,โ featuring lyrics like:
โ
โMurder on my mind, I been up all night
Two bad bitches tryna f**k all night
Heard we was in the club, he had to duck all night
I told โem catch โem at the let-out, shoot his truck on sightโ
โ
During his appearance on Sway In The Morning, Dee-1 questioned whether Meek Mill, a founder of Reform Alliance, truly embodies prison reform. The discussion opens up a broader conversation about social responsibility in hip-hop, with a focus on the influence of lyrics on societal perceptions. As artists play a significant role in shaping cultural narratives, Dee-1โs critique prompts reflection on the impact of their messages and the potential for hip-hop to contribute positively to social change.
โ
In response, Rick Ross shared a video highlighting his community efforts, such as feeding children and turkey giveaways, without directly addressing Dee-1โs initial critique. Dee-1, in turn, offered his response. What are your thoughts on this exchange and the ongoing dialogue within the hip-hop community?

DJ Khaled has given his nod to the authenticity of Tony Yayo's curved handshake story, shedding light on the incident from back in 2005. Yayo, during an appearance on Drink Champs, recounted how Khaled, owing to his close friendship with Fat Joe amid the G-Unit and Fat Joe beef, refused to shake hands. Yayo, promoting his record "[So] Seductive," found himself in an uneasy situation, aware of the industry dynamics. Despite his reservations, he went to meet DJ Khaled, only to experience a feigned handshake followed by Khaled yelling out his trademark tagline and instructing him to leave. In Khaled's recent appearance on Club Shay Shay, he validated Yayo's narrative, explaining that, working at a radio station at that time, he maintained an open-door policy, but Yayo's visit posed a challenge due to the ongoing beef. Khaled grappled with the conflict of allegiance between Yayo and his brotherly friendship with Fat Joe, acknowledging that embracing Yayo completely would have weighed heavily on his conscience.
โ
Reflecting on the situation, Khaled admitted that, given the chance, he might have handled it similarly, prioritizing loyalty to Fat Joe. However, he expressed a desire to navigate the circumstances differently, aiming to avoid finding himself in a room where conflicting loyalties put him in a tough spot. This revelation adds depth to the dynamics of the music industry during that period, showcasing the delicate balance artists and influencers often had to strike amidst rivalries and alliances.
