Bump J Confesses to 2007 Bank Robbery

Written by on August 26, 2009

Chicago based Hip-Hop star Terrance “Bump J” Boykin has accepted a federal plea deal in connection with a 2007 robbery of Chase Bank on Madison street.

In the plea deal signed June 26, Boykin admitted his guilt in the Jan. 4, 2007 robbery of the Chase Bank, 800 Madison St., which netted $108,135.

Wow. Bump J faced possible life in prison, but is expected to do seven years after the plea deal.

He also admitted threatening bank employees with a gun.Under federal sentencing guidelines, Boykin, 28, faced between 37 and 46 months in prison for the bank robbery itself, but life in prison for menacing bank employees with a .45 caliber handgun. He will be required to serve a mandatory minimum seven years on the charge of brandishing a gun during a crime of violence. He’s scheduled to be sentenced by Judge Charles R. Norgle on Sept. 1.

Again, wow.

We wish the Goon Squad crew member the best of luck. After he’s sentenced, he won’t be able to “Move Around” at all (okay, bad joke but I couldn’t resist).
