Overview
- On Jan. 9 in San Diego federal court, Torence “Boosie Badazz” Hatch Jr. received no additional prison time and was ordered to three years of supervised release.
- He must complete 300 hours of community service, pay a $50,000 fine and a $100 assessment, and is barred from possessing firearms during supervision.
- Prosecutors had sought a 24‑month prison term with supervised release, but the judge declined to impose incarceration.
- The case stems from a 2023 San Diego traffic stop in which officers cited an Instagram Live showing a gun and later reported finding firearms in the vehicle; no injuries were reported.
- After an earlier dismissal and refiling, Hatch pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm, and his attorney said the outcome brings relief and allows him to focus on family and music.
