Sebastian Telfair runs in with The Law

Sebastian Telfair continues to meet up with the law. Investigations on the shooting of rapper Fabulous and the theft of Sebastian Telfair’s necklace are being considered connected. Telfair was outside of a club in New York, when one Fabulous entourage yanked his $50,000 chain off from his neck. Minutes later, after this incident the rapper Fabulous was shot outside of the same club. Witnesses say they saw Telfair making a call after refusing someone to call the police when he was robbed.

Telfair and Al Eden Fuentes, his friend were arrested in Yonkers after police pulled them over for speeding and discovering a loaded handgun in the car. Telfair was stopped shortly before 4 a.m. on the Bronx River Parkway when police say he caught going 77 miles per hour in a 45 mph zone. Police said that Telfair presented them with a Florida driver's license that had been suspended. New York Police officer Adrian Camacho found a loaded 45-caliber handgun under the front passenger seat while checking the car. Telfair and Fuentes, were both charged felony for possession of a loaded weapon. Telfair was also slapped with a misdemeanor charge for operating a vehicle with a suspended licence.
Sebastian Telfair was raised in tough neighborhood in Coney Island. Being able to defend himself made him feel like anything but a punk. So carrying a handgun was necessary for him. One of Fabulous, the rapper, entourage stole the chain from Telfair so maybe he did order a hit. Telfair didn't want to seem like a punk to Fabulous so he showed that he is to be taken seriously. Athletes need to find ways to stay out of trouble and make sure it doesn't find them if not their talent will go to a waste.
