Wednesday, May 30, 2007 By: Kenny Rodriguez
A 29-year-old man, who accompanied G-Unit rapper Tony Yayo during an assault on a teenage boy, has received several misdemeanor charges in connection with the incident.
Lawell Fletcher, 29, was charged with menacing in the second degree, endangering the welfare of a child, and assault in the third degree in the altercation involving the 14-year-old son of music executive Jimmy “Henchmen” Rosemond.
Yayo was previously charged on March 25 with one count of misdemeanor assault and one count of endangering the welfare of a minor.
A police report states that Yayo and Lawell Fletcher were passengers in a vehicle on March 20 when they spotted the boy walking to his internship at his father’s label, Czar Entertainment.
Yayo and several associates allegedly surrounded the teen, and Yayo is said to have smacked him, causing his head to hit the door of a building.
In the midst of the altercation, Fletcher allegedly flashed a semi-automatic handgun in his waistband.
The teenager, who feared he would be “shot and killed” if he tried to run, says the assault left him with headaches, earaches and “substantial” pain to his face.
Yayo has denied hitting the teen, and pleaded not guilty to the charges in April. He is due back in court on July 24.
