Bone Thugs-N-Harmony Rapper Convicted

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony member Flesh-N-Bone (a.k.a. Stanley Howse) was convicted on Thursday (6/15) of assault with a firearm and criminal possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. The rapper could be sentenced to up to 19 years in prison.

Howse was convicted in Los Angeles Superior Court of threatening a friend in December with an AK-47 assault rifle that he reportedly pulled from a baby's crib. He will be sentenced on July 14.

Meanwhile, Howse will reportedly be returning to court on June 20 to face felony weapons charges and resisting an officer. Those charges stem from a January incident during which Howse allegedly resisted arrest after police reportedly found him at a Los Angeles-area relative's house with a loaded shotgun.

Howse pled guilty in 1998 to charges of assault with a deadly weapon and possession of explosives following a July 1998 incident during which Howse allegedly threatened a neighbor who reported him to the police for setting off fireworks, according to Sandy Gibbons of the L.A. District Attorney's office. The rapper served 120 days in jail for the latter incident.

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's latest album "BTNHResurrection" (Ruthless Records) was released in February. A summer tour was reportedly planned. It is unknown if Howse's conviction will affect the group's plans. The band's label did not return liveDaily's call by press time.
