A man claiming to be an employee of 50 Cent was arrested by Connecticut authorizes earlier today (August 3) for firing a .40 caliber Glock among a crowd of people during an argument over a chain he received from Fif.
According to The Hartford Courant, 26-year-old Dwayne McKenzie, who says he lives at 50's mansion in Farmington, told authorities that Adolfo Yepez, 25, pushed him and stole his $100,000 diamond platinum chain during a dispute on Hartford street.
Mckezine denied firing the gun and told police that it would have all 16 rounds but three rounds were found missing after it was inspected. The gun, which McKenzie has a permit for, was found in his pants pocket.
Yepez ran into the path of a police sergeant who took him into custody and recovered the chain. He told authorities that McKenzie pulled out a gun and waved it in the air during the argument. He said he started running and heard a blast as he ran.
Witnesses at the scene told authorities that they saw McKenzie fire the gun among a group of 10 to 20 people. No injuries were reported.
McKenzie was charged with one count of unlawful discharge of a fire arm and first-degree reckless endangerment while Yepez was charged with third-degree robbery.
"We are not going to tolerate people, whoever they are, firing any kind of fire arm randomly out in the city of Hartford," said police spokeswoman Nancy Mulroy. "It was fortunate no one was injured."
Both men, who are free on bond, are scheduled to appear in court on August 14.
