Baton Rouge-native rapper Torence "Boosie" Hatch threatened to put out a $10,000 bounty on his bodyguard for telling San Diego officers during a traffic stop that a gun was in the back seat of their SUV and failing to say it was his, prosecutors allege.
But, after hearing arguments from Hatch's defense attorney that he is a dedicated family man, a judge allowed him out of jail on $100,000 bail.
Federal prosecutors in California alleged this week that officers heard Hatch shout toward his bodyguard that Hatch had "10K on you" and that “you’re gonna’ be in a body bag.”
At the time, officers were leading Hatch and the bodyguard to separate patrol cars during the May 6 stop, prosecutors said.
The U.S. Attorney's Office in San Diego said the comments were indications of Hatch's plan to let his bodyguard take the blame for Boosie's illegally possessing a weapon and Hatch's determination to intimidate a witness when that plan went awry.
"Hatch poses a danger to the community, and specifically to witnesses and evidence. The United States is extremely concerned about witness intimidation," federal prosecutors claimed in court papers this week.
The allegations echo accusations that were leveled against Hatch in Louisiana but never proven. Baton Rouge prosecutors accused Hatch of ordering the murder of Terry Boyd in 2009, but he was acquitted of the alleged murder-for-hire scheme in 2012.
Michael "Marlo Mike" Louding, who was accused of committing the execution, was convicted, however, for Boyd's murder and sentenced to life in 2013.

In Boosies defense. The security guard should have had the guns on him at all time. Thats his job. and like a weed carrier he has to take the hit for the gun.
@4:05 You sound like a gotdamn fool! That's street foolishness. Ain't no legitimate bodyguard takin the wrap for some hot guns.
His job is to have the guns. Its not even a charge. They should be already registered and the bodyguard is in charge of that. Also Boosie needs to stop touching weapons
