Feds Capture Fugitive Hip Hop Manager James Rosemond After Manhattan Foot Chase
After a few weeks on the lam, rap music manager James Rosemond was arrested today by federal agents on narcotics trafficking, witness tampering, and obstruction of justice charges.
Rosemond, 46, was apprehended by federal investigators after a foot chase in Manhattan. He was spotted at the W Hotel near Union Square and took off running north, eventually getting tackled by agents several blocks away on East 21st Street.
Rosemond, pictured at right in a mug shot from an earlier collar, is expected to be arraigned later today at U.S. District Court in Brooklyn.
