Rapper Exonerated When Co-defendant Took Rap For Laurens Co. Charges
04/01/08by Terry Wolf
It was no laffy matter for Southern rapper Fabo (Lafabian Williams) when his car was stopped along I-16 in Laurens County.
The solo artist and front man of rap group D4L, known for their 2005 hit ‘Laffy Taffy’ was charged on February 2, 2006 for possession of marijuana, possession of methylenedioxymetham, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, carrying a concealed weapon and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
But the charges against Williams were nolle prossed, meaning the district attorney’s office decided not to pursue any further prosecution against the rapper.
That decision was made when a co-defendant, Curtis Alfonso Watkins, Jr., pled guilty to charges, taking the rap for his rapper friend.
Watkins pled guilty to the both drug possession charges and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. He was sentenced to a total of 15 years on probation, $3,700 in fines and court and state surcharges.
