Armed Robbery at the Phoenix
Jeronimo Cervantes was arrested for stealing items that were for sale at the Phoenix Theater in California during aTech N9ne concert.
The 18-year-old assailant pulled a knife on a concert goer that chased him outside. The police were called and Cervantes was booked at the Sonoma County Jail on $30,000 bail.
The issue with this incident is that the police reportedly blame hip-hop concerts for acts of violence at the theater.
The management of The Phoenix stated that they "check for weapons at the door and do research on groups before booking them to make sure they don't promote drugs and violence in their music."
Tech N9ne happens to fall in the category of an artist who mentions violence in his music but should he named as a contributor to this act or is this an instance of profiling a genre?
