BROOKLYN, NY -
Taxstone, who is currently serving 35 years in prison for shooting Troy Ave‘s bodyguard, has been hit with more charges after being accused of contraband smuggling.
The podcaster (real name Daryl Campbell) is one of eight inmates at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center charged with either smuggling or possessing contraband, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York announced on Thursday (March 6).
A former correctional officer at MDC is also charged with attempting to smuggle contraband, including marijuana and cigarettes, into the notorious jail, which currently houses a number of high-profile figures including Diddy.
A further 16 people, including an MS-13 gang associate, are facing charges relating to violent assaults and fraud inside the facility.
Taxstone is accused of orchestrating a plan with five other inmates to smuggle drugs, cigarettes, a scalpel and other banned items into MDC between April and June 2024.
“In several voice recordings found on [a contraband cell phone], Campbell explained his method of throwing a ‘line’ out of a window of MDC-Brooklyn for a co-conspirator on the outside to ‘hook’ or attach contraband, which could then be pulled back inside,” a press release reads.
“On June 30, 2024, [Ian] Diez, [Jonathan] Guerrero, [Abel] Mora, and [Mayovanex] Rodriguez attempted to execute Campbell’s scheme by pulling a rope through the window of the recreation room in their housing area. At the other end of that rope, correctional officers found what appeared to be suboxone, marijuana, a scalpel, a phone charger, lighters, and cigarettes.”
Taxstone faces another 10 years being added to his sentence if convicted.
