UPDATE #2: Bobby Shmurda faces up to 25 years on conspiracy charges and up to 15 years on each of the weapons charges he's facing.

Epic Records artist Bobby Shmurda was arrested along with members of his GS9 crew in New York’s Quad City Studios early Wednesday morning (December 17), Wondering Sound reports.

Though specific charges were not disclosed, in a phone conversation with Wondering Sound, Katie Cornell—the New York Police Department’s Director Of Public Information—says "these arrests were the result of a long-term investigation" that uncovered "a number of violent incidents as well as narcotics trafficking." She also says that her office "has a sealed indictment against a number of individuals" that will be revealed early on December 18.

REVOLT reports that the arraignments will take place in the Manhattan Supreme Court.

Representatives from Epic Records were not available for comment as of press time.

This is the third time this year Bobby Shmurda has been arrested. In June, the artist born Ackquille Pollard was arrested for felony gun possession. He was arrested again in October for marijuana possession.

In November, the "Bobby Bitch" rapper’s debut EP, Shmurda She Wrote debuted at #77 selling 5,000 copies.
