Florida rapper, Brisco, was arrested this week on fraud charges after allegedly selling fake money to an undercover agent and participating in a Florida fraud ring.  Officials say Brisco is connected to at least $200,000 worth of illegal business and activity.
The rapper, whose real name is British Mitchell, has been on the run since August 23rd. During that time Mitchell led officials of two different agencies on two high-speed chases, reaching speeds of 90 to 100 mph. The officers eventually ended the chase due to the potential risk factor.
As a result, Mitchell disappeared.
After months on the lam, Mitchell was arrested Wednesday morning after he made a guest appearance at The Playhouse Gentlemen’s Club in Broward County. Unbeknownst to him, agents were there waiting to take him in.
On Friday, Mitchell stood for a detention hearing, facing eight federal charges of identity theft and fraud. If convicted Mitchell faces at least two years and nine months in prison.
To make matters worse, Mitchell had already been wanted since late 2015 for absconding from state probation for possession of drugs and driving violations. The prosecutor made the judge aware of this fact to further prove that Mitchell was a flight risk. In turn, the judge ordered the rapper to stay in jail with no bond.
