Veincent was also arrested and charged for two $20,000 bench warrants.
Mokihana Veincent was arrested and charged with first-degree promotion of a dangerous drug, registration of a firearm, possession of prohibited weapons and possession of a firearm with intent to facilitate the commission of a felony.
Larry Luis was arrested for third-degree promotion of a detrimental drug and released pending further investigation.

After conferring with prosecutors, Stacey Veincent and Mokihana Veincent were charged for their offenses. Their bail was set at $200,000 and $22,500, respectively.
No doubt they will all get off with reduced sentences…if they ever make it to trial. Can you say “skip town and try and find me”?
Christ judge….wheres the goddam deterrent????????you should resign…….
I would bet money that these are the dealers that supplied Moses ‘Moki’ Rocker , who lived on that same street and after a long battle with ice addiction , committed suicide a few weeks ago , after yet another relapse into ice addiction . He is reported to have walked to score from his dealers . These people should be held without bail and charged to the fullest extent of the law . They are killers .
Drugs & guns. The classical combo where one enhances the effect of the other.
Nice bail range……whos family was the low one?
