CALABASAS — Los Angeles County Sheriffs Dept. has announced the March 7th tipster-arrest of John Robert Hill (21) aka the rapper ‘Boonk Gang’ for narcotics and multiple assault weapons.
Notorious for Instagram posts of committing various crimes and performing stunts, Hill’s numerous run-ins with authorities continues undaunted. He’s been arrested twice at Dunkin Donuts in Miami – once for taking an entire tray of glazed donuts last May, followed by burglary and petty theft in July.
Hill posted a video of throwing strawberry milkshakes on himself in a Chik-Fil-A restaurant while removing his clothes to celebrate reaching one million followers on Instagram last July. A YouTube video features Boonk Gang holding $10,000 in one hand while waving a gun in the other hand with his finger on the gun’s trigger during a January radio interview.
