Taxstone has been released on bail.
Podcast personality Taxstone, born Daryl Campbell, has posted $500,000 bail after being arrested on Monday in connection to the deadly Irving Plaza shooting that occurred last year. Taxstone was also wanted for a federal warrant that charged him with being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Tax will now reportedly be placed on house arrest, which requires him to wear an ankle monitor at all times. He will only be allowed to leave his home for court approved activities – to record his “Tax Season” podcast, and to meet with his lawyers.
Statements that Taxstone made during his podcast will be used against him by prosecutors. He was quoted saying, “I can protect myself as a man, so I’m not thinking about rolling with six goons.”
“When I see you walking up with six dudes, bang-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba…I want to embarrass somebody, and that’s why I started bullying Troy Ave, you know what I mean?”
Assistant District Attorney Hagan Scotten claimed Taxstone fired the handgun first, “He had a gun in his hand and he murdered someone.”
