According to American media reports, on June 20 17, 1, Zhou Libo was stopped while driving in Leitington, Long Island, USA, when he was still on the phone. The police immediately found drugs and guns from the car and arrested him and Tang Shuang on the spot. They were released on bail the next day.
In July, all charges against Tang Shuang were dropped, and prosecutors continued to investigate Zhou Libo's case. Finally, the grand jury voted on 65438+February 18, and five counts were found. The prosecution pointed out that if the most serious second-degree drug possession charge is convicted, he will face three and a half to 15 years in prison.
According to the indictment of the prosecution, after investigation, it was found that Zhou Libo did have a loaded pistol and ice, and his next court appearance was on February 1 day. After the grand jury prosecution was established, Zhou Libo appeared in court in accordance with legal procedures on the 9 th. Scarin, a defense lawyer, insisted that the defendant was innocent, saying that Zhou Libo was driving, but he didn't know how there were guns and drugs in the car. The lawyer also said that Zhou Libo believed that he would eventually be acquitted.
In response to online rumors that he was sentenced to 4 1 year in prison, Zhou Libo also released a video on New Year's Day showing him walking on the streets of Manhattan, claiming to the photographer with his mobile phone that if everyone thought he was sentenced to prison, if he could wander around, it would be called "parole trip". Now that he has been charged, if he wants to get rid of the crime, he will have to confront the prosecution fiercely in court.
