Plies Manager Caught With 36 Keys
Plies manager got caught with 80 pounds of coke yesterday...
You know he's going down. According to the Tampa Bay Tribune, Plies’ manager, David Lee Gay Jr., was arrested in his home Tuesday night during a drug deal gone wrong with Eleazar Gutierrez-Castillo. Castillo had been arrested hours earlier trying to sell to five ounces of cocaine to an undercover cop and agreed to rat out Gay Jr in exchange for some leniency. Castillo told authorities that he and Gay Jr. had entered into an agreement to distribute cocaine and that from September 21st through November 12th, Gay Jr. had received and sold a half-kilo to a kilo of cocaine at least six times. Castillo said Gay Jr. paid him $6,000 for a kilo of cocaine and owed $8,000 more to “consummate the deal". According to a criminal arrest affidavit, during the meeting at his house with Castillo, Gay Jr. ‘grew nervous’ saying he thought he noticed cops in the neighborhood. Sensing something was wrong he backed out of the deal asking ‘Gutierrez-Castillo what he had done to wrong him.’ But it was too late. In addition to the 36 keys, police found a 9mm Taurus handgun, 10 grams of marijuana, drug paraphernalia, and $7,902.
