Police Ambush ICP
mmarsh by Mark Marsh June 17th, 2001
Underground Detroit rappers Insane Clown Posse have yet another run in with the police. This time with the officers of Columbia, MO.

Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope (real names Joesph Bruce and Joesph Ulster) were travelling back from their recent concert with members of their road crew. However once the group was 4-5 blocks away from the venue the police struck and deployed 7-10 cars to stop them.

All were arrested and all except Violent J were later released without charge.

J was arrested due to a warrant being issued for his arrest some 2 months ago after he allegedly beat up a St. Louis DJ known as "Cooksie", after the DJ had been rumoured to have been talking trash to passing Juggalos (ICP fans) on their way to a gig.

ICP have had to cancel the last date on the Bizaar Bizzar tour due to this incident.

In related news a select few fan sites of the Clowns have published the DJ's phone numbers along with his photo, encouraging Juggalos to act as they fit. No comments have been made by Cooksie at this time.
