JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. – A popular Jacksonville rapper was arrested Monday night in Jacksonville Beach and accused of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Keyanta Bullard, known as rapper Yungeen Ace was was booked into the Duval County jail shortly before 1:30 a.m.
According to the arrest report, the rented SUV Bullard was riding in was pulled over around 8:30 p.m. after the driver failed to slow or stop at a four-way intersection. Officers stopped the SUV not far from Angie’s Subs and the driver was quickly arrested for driving without a valid license.
The officer then learned that the driver and passenger were documented gang members and since there were a total of six passengers inside the SUV, the officer called for backup.
Officers said when they searched the black Chevrolet Suburban, they found seven loaded and chambered guns inside.
One officer said they saw a black rifle in plain view on the floorboard and a blue bag on the second-row floorboard was also seen with a Draco pistol and black handgun within reach of Bullard, who was the back middle passenger.
Bullard and the other occupants were then detained.
Police said Bullard had “constructive possession” of three handguns and he was arrested and taken to the Duval County Jail. One of the semi-automatic guns was loaded with armor-piercing rounds, according to the report.
Bullard, 26, is one of Jacksonville’s most notorious rappers and is known in part for surviving being shot eight times in 2018. His brother and two other men died in the shooting near the St. Johns Town Center and Bullard was the only survivor.
The following year, after he performed at a rap concert in Waycross, Georgia, his group was ambushed and another man was killed.
