In 1961, Al Pacino was arrested for Possession of a Concealed Weapon in Woonsocket, Rhode Island. One evening, Al rode passenger in a vehicle driven by his friend Vincent Calcagni, also accompanied by Bruce Cohen. Officer William J. O’Coin Jr, and his partner Officer William Angell noticed the trio parked outside of a restaurant named Mezza Luna and approached them. The officers used their flashlights to search the vehicle and spotted gloves, and masks. Officer O’Coin asked them what they were doing with those items, Al and Bruce told him “we’re actors from New York.” The search continued and when Vincent’s car trunk was opened, they found a .38 caliber pistol. Two toy pistols were also in the trunk as well. The trio was taken down to the police station and questioned. Al couldn’t post $2,000 bail so he stayed in jail for three days. Al lied and told the officers the pistols was a prop, since he knew the toy pistols were in the trunk, and other details unknown to the public, they were let go. Al Pacino is the only one alive today from the officers to his friends. Al Pacino would go on to continue pursuing his acting career, often playing fictional underworld legends, notably Don Michael Corleone from The Godfather, and Tony Montana from Scarface.

In a significant narcotics investigation in the Bronx, authorities seized approximately 12 keys and over $3 million in cash concealed within secret compartments of furniture in an apartment linked to suspect Juan Rondon, who was arrested after suspicious activity was noted. The apartment, which lacked security measures, also contained luxury watches, further highlighting ongoing issues with dr*g trafficking in the area. The investigation reflects a broader trend of narcotics related incidents in the Bronx, echoed by another case involving a couple arrested in Connecticut after being observed transferring a large bag at a pizzeria, which led to the discovery of 5 keys, a kilo press, and $40,000 in cash in their home. Local residents expressed shock over the prevalence of such activities, with the segment indicating that similar stories will continue to be released. A criminal complaint charged Juanito with Operating as a Major Trafficker and Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance in the First and Third Degrees. He was held without bail. As stated in court, RONDON was previously deported in 2006. The reason is unknown to us, but he does have prior dr*g charges on his record. Nothing is much known about his humble beginnings but papi had bred. #hoodtales #crime #crimetok #crimestories #gangsta #crimejunkie #bronx #nyc #papi

Sylvia “Rambo” Nunn was from Compton, and her family relocated to the Eastside in the 1950s. Her older brother Marcus “China Dog” Nunn was one of the founding members of Lueders Park Piru, which is one of Compton’s most notorious gangs. Rambo grew up in a stable home with both parents, but her father dabbled in drug dealing. As she developed, Rambo’s father taught her how to fight and sh*ot, which proved useful when she jumped into gang activity. Rambo’s father was arrested and convicted for drugs in 1973, and a few years later in 1979, she joined the Pirus after China Dog was shot by Compton Crips. China Dog recovered at the local hospital. By the 1980s, Crack began spreading across LA, and Rambo indulged in using the drug before going on missions to bang. Rambo’s reputation in Compton put her at the top of the list of who to fear in the streets, which all came to a halt in April of 1991, when a warrant for her arrest was brought to her attention. Rambo cooperated with law enforcement to get off their radar, and a few months later in July of 1991, her oldest brother Junior Nunn was s*ot and k*lled while walking with his girlfriend. Rambo relocated to Las Vegas in 1993, where she met her future husband, former sheriff John Hardman of Kansas City, Missouri. Rambo became a member of the local Christian church, where she gave her life to Jesus Christ. Her motto was “I put down P*ru and picked up Jesus.” Rambo continued her journey, until it sadly ended on April 20, 2010 when she passed away. Soon after her death, her sister Cynthia Nunn, began a foundation named Sylvia Nunn Angels, a gang intervention non-profit, which gives back to the Compton community. #hoodtales #crime #crimetok #crimestories #gangsta #crimejunkie #foryou #fyp #compton #california

Frank Moten emerged in the world of crime by running numbers in the 1950s and 1960s. He stepped his game up in the mid 60’s and started moving H & became one of the most powerful men in his time. Moten established himself as a major player by creating a vast number of loans and gambling operations while forging ties with significant figures in the underworld. His influence grew as he became a central figure in the Council of 12, overseeing crucial business dealings and the distribution of dr*gs across states. Many know about Frank Matthew’s getting players from detroit, north carolina and other areas to form the council, Frank obviously being the front man. Well, Moten, was a front man but behind the curtains. He lived by 4 words an OG told him, those 4 words were “head low, pockets full”. Which led Moten to a 30 year long run. His operations not only included illegal activities but also legitimate businesses, allowing him to amass considerable wealth and maintain relationships with several high profile personalities in entertainment and sports. An incident that hit Franks operation hard was at an after-party for a Muhammad Ali fight, where power dynamics among gangsters, lawyers, and entertainers played out. They were robbed of everything they had, Frank made promises to these people that they will and cannot be messed with to than get robbed. The aftermath of a robbery affected Frank Moten's network, emphasizing that the real issue was the loss of reputation rather than financial loss. Despite promises made to the men about restoring their belongings, the incident left them embarrassed as they returned to their communities. Moten, known for his composed demeanor yet underlying danger, took matters into his own hands by demanding names at meetings and dropping bodies against anyone potentially involved in the robbery. On April 5th, 1976, an indictment was filed charging Moten & 33 others in 40 count with various cases of narcotics laws. Frank never cooperated, in February 1977, he was sentenced to 25 years & on December 23rd, 1984, at the age of 63, he would pass away. #hoodtales #crime #crimetok #crimestories #gangsta #frankmoten #foryou #fyp #nyc

Zhenli Ye Gon, born in China, was raised in poverty but as he grew older, he would study Chemical Engineering & would than open a import-export business in Mexico of all places lol. While in Mexico, he established “Unimed Farm”, where he would import pseudoephedrine, which is simply decongesting medicine for colds but these chemicals were also used for the production of methamphetamine. Zhenli would begin to take trips to Vegas to play poker at the Casinos and spending his lump some of wealth which put a target on his back & he was alleged to be a part of the Sinaloa Cartel. Eventually, Zhenli’s mansion was raided in which the DEA found $206m in cash, 7 vehicles & multiple straps. At the time of this raid, Zhenli wasn’t home and was actually gambling away at the casinos of Vegas. He was so known at the Casinos that he was given a Rolls Royce at one point after losing $157m in 1 night. Besides that, The DEA was compelled to prioritize his capture due to the high profile interest from both U.S. and Mexican authorities. Initial surveillance efforts yielded no leads, but the agents later discovered that the dealer's lawyer planned to hold a press conference, during which the dealer appeared via phone instead of in person, outsmarting the agents. Utilizing legal documents to access cell phone tower data, the agents were able to locate the suspect's whereabouts by analyzing which towers the phones were pinging off. After weeks of surveillance at a seemingly vacant house in a wealthy suburb, they finally learned the suspect had actually been present. When he left, they swiftly arrested him at a nearby Chinese restaurant and brought him back to the original location to serve a search warrant. The criminal complaint presents allegations of enormous dr*g trafficking earnings, estimated at $720 million, and significant gambling losses, totaling about $175m in Las Vegas, from which the government managed to recover $45 million. He now faces 25 years in prison. #hoodtales #crime #crimetok #crimestories #crimejunkie #gangsta #zhenliyegon #sinaloa #mexico #fyp

“Mike Tyson was plugged in with street legends from Brooklyn and The Bronx, most of who he had grown up with. He was close with PR Jesus because Jesus never wanted anything from him but friendship. Jesus passed away in 2021. Jesus was highly respected in all the boroughs, and gained a reputation for being fly. Jesus saved Azie Faison’s life one afternoon when they were playing Basketball, and Jesus alerted Azie that a group of dudes who pulled up to the park were going to k*ll him. Azie asked Jesus why dudes from Brooklyn wanted him dead, and Jesus responded with “they want you dead for what your man did to Domencio in D.C.” By this time Azie and Alpo fell out over Azie’s accurate suspicion of Alpo being responsible for Rich’s death, and after Jesus told Azie why he was a marked man, Azie left the park.” _ValTown_ #hoodtales #crime #crimetok #crimestories #gangsta #crimejunkie #nyc #brooklyn #miketyson #foryou

“DeHaven and Jay grew up together in Marcy, living in the same building. DeHaven is one year older than Jay and considered him as a little brother. Before their fallout Jay was DeHaven’s daughter Godfather. One night DeHaven and Jay went uptown to get work from their plug, after picking up 450 grams they were bum-rushed. DeHaven managed to distract the gunman allowing Jay to get out of the way from harm’s danger. When DeHaven finally caught up with Jay, he noticed he couldn’t breathe. Jay didn’t know DeHaven was s*ot, until they were looking for bullet wounds and DeHaven put his finger in one of the holes. They waved down a cab, and DeHaven gave Jay all their work and money, told him to get his mother, and meet him at the hospital. Jay did everything DeHaven asked him to do. Sometime down the line they had caught a case together, DeHaven got locked up and Jay was free. DeHaven claims Jay just left him to figure out the situation himself, because of the misunderstanding Jay said DeHaven snitched on him. They haven’t been friends since.” _ValTown_ #hoodtales #crime #crimetok #crimestories #gangsta #crimejunkie #nyc #brooklyn #marcyprojects #jayz #80s

“Quarterfield was one of Brooklyn’s most dangerous figures in the streets by the age of 24. Brooklyn’s reputation at that time was for taking, you couldn’t walk through Brooklyn unscathed unless you were well respected or well protected. With Quarterfield, your status didn’t matter, if he wanted what you had, it became his. Quarterfield was the protege to Donny Smallwood, who was the top kingpin in The Hill. Quarterfield decided to set up his own spot on Donny’s block, without paying a tribute to him. He set out to destroy Donny’s operation, and this led to a feud between the two. Donny was slow to retaliate as he had plans to get out of the game, but Quarterfield continued to strike. Quarterfield allegedly k*dnapped Donny’s son, and received a $50,000 ransom which he bragged about in the streets. During the feud, Quarterfield heard that Donny was looking for him after his shop was s*ot up, and approached Donny with his g*n, stuck it in his mouth and told him, “I hear you’re looking for me.” Another enemy Quarterfield made was with Pretty Rob, over a payment dispute for d*ugs. This led to several m*rder attempts on Quarterfield’s life, and Donny Smallwood still wanted revenge. Donny’s Godson Nuke, would be the one to end Quarterfield’s life, with five s*ots to the face and neck.” _ValTown_ #hoodtales #crime #crimetok #crimestories #gangsta #crimejunkie #nyc #brooklyn #foryou #80s #thewire

“Azie, Alpo, and Rich Porter by 1987 were the 3 of the biggest kingpins in Harlem, although there were many hustlers who were just as big. Black Just, a Harlem native as well was in the younger faction of the Supreme Team, and was one of Kenneth “Supreme” McGriff’s closest friends. Black Just is also credited for paying Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson’s boxing lessons when he was a kid. 1987 was the year Azie got s*ot at his Aunt’s house in The Bronx, which created a domino effect of problems that would occur soon after. Azie and Alpo got acquainted during Rich’s imprisonment in 1984, when Alpo approached Azie and introduced himself as Rich’s partner. Azie verified that information with Rich and got reassurance that Alpo was good people. Over time through trust, Azie gave Alpo a spot called the Jukebox which made $70,000-$80,000 a week. When Rich came home in 1985, Azie put him back in position and the trio started rolling. Around this time is also when Alpo began to frequent cities in the southeast, notably Washington D.C., where he planted his seeds to grow his operations as he loved the idea of expansion. Azie and Rich wanted no parts of dealings outside of Harlem, and after Azie shut his operations down once he recovered from his s*ooting, Alpo and Rich ventured off.” _ValTown_ #hoodtales #crime #crimetok #crimestories #gangsta #crimejunkie #nyc #harlem #paidinfull #alpomartinez #aziefaison #richporter #foryou #80s

Timmirror Stanfield’s rise within the criminal underworld of Baltimore is a story laced with ambition, ruthlessness, and the brutal realities of the dr*g trade. Born from humble beginnings in a housing project, Stanfield ascended from the fringes of society to become a key figure in the city's narcotic distribution network. His journey wasn’t about luck it was about power, strategy, and the cold, calculated use of violence. Like many of the notorious figures we see in crime dramas, Stanfield’s leadership was rooted in a no nonsense, iron fisted approach. He wasn’t interested in the soft undercurrents of morality or the ethical boundaries others might hesitate to cross. His world was one of calculated dominance, where respect was earned through fear and where betrayal was swiftly punished. Stanfield was no different from the corporate managers who promise promotions and upward mobility, only to demand blind loyalty and obedience. His business was no different, only the consequences for disobedience were deadly. He created a network of fear, where young recruits were given training in firearms, but little else in terms of true leadership or guidance. He kept them in line not with mentorship but with intimidation and violence. Vacant properties became his safe haven, hiding evidence, conducting business, and providing a fort for his operation. The streets he ruled were a battlefield, one where paranoia ran rampant, and trust was a luxury no one could afford. But as with all empires built on fear, there’s an inevitable fall. Paranoia took root in Stanfield’s mind, a crippling fear that betrayal was lurking around every corner. This fear led him to take increasingly extreme measures against anyone he perceived as a threat, pushing his organization into disarray. His reckless approach not only destabilized his empire but set the stage for his eventual downfall. His obsession with power and control led to countless associates being caught in his web many of them young, impressionable recruits who found themselves in deep legal trouble, some even testifying against him out of fear. In the end, his empire crumbled under the weight of his own paranoia and violent methods. Stanfield’s story is one of a man who climbed to the top through sheer force, only to fall victim to the very chaos he created. His legacy is one of broken lives, of young men who thought they could rise but were instead left to face harsh penalties for their involvement in his world. He’s now serving life in prison but, it’s clear that Stanfield’s leadership was ultimately his undoing. And as we look at the wreckage left in his wake, we’re left to reflect on the nature of power, control, and the cost of ambition. #hoodtales #crime #crimetok #crimestories #gangsta #crimejunkie #baltimore #thewire #80s

Supreme McGriff born in Queens, New York in 1960 was a well known and respected hustler out of The City That Never Sleeps in the 1980s. McGriff led the Supreme Team, a powerhouse organization estimated to make about $500,000 a week! McGriff, grew up in a middle class home in an area where poverty and systemic oppression was a thing, both parent were blue collar workers, McGriff eventually dropped out of high school, motivated by the fascination of street hustlers who seemed to lead more successful lives than those in 9-5 jobs. He initially became involved with the 5%ers, a group that fostered both positive and criminal elements, which eventually introduced him to influential figures like Lorenzo "Fat Cat" Nichols. As heroin's dominance grew in the early 1980s, McGriff capitalized on the emerging crack caine market, forming the Supreme Team, a well structured criminal organization that he ran alongside his nephew, Prince Miller. Their partnership balanced McGriff's business acumen with Miller's ruthlessness, enabling the Supreme Team to become one of New York City's most notorious criminal enterprises. McGriff would put this team together with old connections and arranged a security system of looks out when moving large quantities of WHITE, obviously these men will be paid and most would hustle for him as well. As the team flaunted their wealth through flashy lifestyles, they caught the attention of law enforcement, leading to increased surveillance and media scrutiny. Following a robbery by a rival gvng, McGriff's brutal tactics escalated, culminating in police raids that landed him in prison for nine years. While in prison, his nephew Prince would take over leadership but during his leadership, many people were t0rtured, beaten or even klled, which could have gone for much longer time if McGriff wasn’t released just 2 years after his 9 year prison sentence! McGriff was back in business after his release but just 2 months after his release, Preme was back in prison and this time for 12 years. Prince was left in charge but in 1993, Prince was sentenced to 7 life term sentences. Fast forward, McGriff would be released serving only 8 years of his 12 following his parole in 1995, he decided to change his life around a bit and got into the music businsss which also ultimately led to 50 cent getting shot 9 times. McGriff was was sentenced to life in prison in 2007. #hoodtales #crime #crimetok #crimestories #gangsta #crimejunkie #crimejunkie #supremeteam #suprememcgriff #nyc #fyp
