Yayo gets community service over Rosemond Junior run-in

G-Unit's Tony Yayo has been sentenced to ten days of community service after pleading guilty to harassing the teenage son of Czar Entertainment boss Jimmy Rosemond.

G-uniter Tony Yayo has been sentenced to ten days of community service in relation to that run in with the teenage son of the boss of Czar Entertainment, Jimmy Rosemond, last March.

In the end Yayo pleaded guilty to harassment, admitting that he had got out of his car and "glared" at James Rosemond Jr in a way that was "meant to threaten physical violence". He was originally accused of slapping the teen, whose father is something of a hip hop rival to the G-unit, mainly because he manages The Game, the former G-uniter who has long feuded with his former collaborators. But, as previously reported, when the case reached court last month prosecutors admitted that a Yayo associate, one Lowell Fletcher, had admitted it was him who hit Rosemond Junior, and that Yayo had actually pulled him away from the teen.

With that in mind Yayo was offered a plea deal which saw him only admit to a violation offence, which is less serious than a misdemeanour, hence the relative leniency of the sentence. Fletcher, meanwhile, has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanour count of endangering the welfare of a child for grabbing the teen and now faces a nine-month jail sentence.
