Taxstone Arrested in Connection with Troy Ave Shooting

  /  01.16.2017

Taxstone, host of the popular “Tax Season” podcast, has been arrested in connection with the infamous Troy Ave-related shooting at a T.I. concert at New York’s Irving Plaza last year.

Tax, born Daryl Campbell, was arrested by detectives at his aunt’s home on Monday (Jan. 16). He was scheduled to appear in court on a weapons possession charge on Tuesday and has been under investigation for his alleged involvement in the May shooting, according to the New York Daily News.

“He will be arraigned tomorrow,” said Taxstone’s lawyer, Ken Montgomery. “We look forward to reading the complaint from the government.”

The podcaster and MTV personality has had a troubled history with the law. According to the Daily News, he served 18 months for weapons and robbery charges in the past. He also returned to jail in 2010 and 2012 for additional time due to parole violations. Tax often speaks about his time in jail on his “Tax Season” podcast, which boasts a 5-star rating on iTunes.

Rapper Troy Ave is currently out on $500,000 bond following the May shooting at Irving Plaza where he says he was shot and where his bodyguard, Ronald McPhatter, was killed. Troy’s legal team claims he somehow took the gun away from the shooter and fired back in self-defense.

Troy’s lawyer Scott Leemon issued a statement on the matter, though he would not identify anyone as the shooter at this time. “As I told you day one, Troy was a victim,” Leemon explained. “[Troy] was shot by someone else and his friend and bodyguard died a hero.”

Troy was shot once again on Christmas Day while sitting in a Maserati in East Flatbush.
