On September 5, 2018 Tyrone William Griffin Jr., better known as rapper and singer Ty Dolla $ign, was arrested in Atlanta, Georgia after an officer on foot patrol walked by his tour van and smelled an overwhelming odor of marijuana.
The officer, Che Milton, called a K9 unit to confirm, and – following an astonishingly strong hit on Mr. Dolla $ign’s property – officers subsequently located 18.2 grams of marijuana, a quantity of cocaine, and thousands of dollars in cash.
Problematic for responding officers, however, was the fact that none of the seven people in the van were willing to claim the drugs as their own. And so, Officer Milton – apparently in an arresty mood relative to his colleagues – rounded up all seven van occupants and brought them in. In this video you will hear plenty of talk and insinuation from Ty$’s security guard Dashawn Lamar Brown. Is he security? Former law enforcement? Just your average constitutional law scholar? Who knows!
I do.
So what’s all the fuss about? Well, it all started during my otherwise-routine background research. I was looking into the entourage that was detained, trying to figure out who we had on our hands so I could pass that information along to you. That’s when I discovered that Dashawn Lamar Brown had a security guard license out of California. More precisely, an expired security guard license out of California. But what really caught my attention was learning that Brown had, at one point, possessed a baton license as well as a firearms license. Also expired? Nope. Revoked since 2006 following a disciplinary hearing. Hmm…
Curious to know more, I dug deeper. Much deeper. And my research ultimately revealed that Brown, who had once worked as a bounty hunter, had a criminal history that literally took up dozens of pages in some reports. And he was beginning to remind me of a west coast Jefrey Scott Schultz.
How so?
Easy:
One of Brown’s convictions – by a jury and sustained on appeal – was for grand theft and impersonating a police officer. Dashawn Lamar Brown was sentenced to two years in prison after he pulled someone over using a fake police car. Brown then approached the vehicle, dressed in a full sheriff’s uniform – badge and all – and ordered the driver out so he could search the car for drugs.
Brown didn’t find any drugs, but he did steal $7,000 in cash from the driver. Unfortunately for him, Brown left something in exchange: his fingerprints. Which eventually sealed the deal in the case against him.
I’ll close this by sharing a mildly hilarious anecdote from Brown’s trial. Ever the legal scholar, Brown offered a novel defense to the impersonation charges: he claimed that he could not have been impersonating a police officer because, and I quote, “Sheriffs are not police.”
The jury didn’t buy it.

Should save us all a a headache, and give "Sherriff Tyrone" a .45 Lobotomy, not much too brain to remove, and a 0 loss to society.
If “bruh just shut the fk up†was a person
Very fine people accompany Mr Ty the rapper! 😎
They really did put this poor transport officer in a sticky situation legally.
Mister, you should keep your mouth shut, exercise your right to remain silent by using common sense. If a person is in handcuffs, in the backseat of a police car – you should know there's a reason. When you arrive and find out the charges, ask for an attorney and clam up. All this talking will put you in jail. You should also know there's an arresting officer and transportation officer among others. This driver is the later – one who can not tell you anything because he doesn't know all information. It's kind of like the person running a CT scan, they can't/won't provide information – it's the Drs job.
"Sheriffs are not police" technically speaking good point, sadly for this dude they are related, both are cops Lol!
Cops out in the atl are the best
unprofessionalass cops
Dashawn 🤣
It’s always the loudest one that is ridin the dirtiest
How in god's name does not one police officer know what they are doing with this man and why. SO they are just going to transport him and not know?
NUTS!!
Ty who??? Never heard of him. I guess anyone can be a “ rapper†these days. Throw a few made up words together that rhyme and, you too can call yourself a “rapperâ€. Only in America!
Song at 2;40.?
Wait wait… So theres a "rapper" that goes by "Ty Dolla $ign"?… lmao. Thats hilarious… period.
He’s being kidnaped smh
Security Guard was never read his miranda rights
@ 10:01 "I don't smoke weed at all"
@10:03 "we just smoked weed before we left the hotel" This guy needs to keep his mouth shut.
Dude: I don’t smoke weed at all.
(Next breath)….
We just smoked weed
Does Glock make a .357 caliber revolver?
The fuck is he talking about. Sheriff's are police. They are law enforcement. Idiot. Wearing a sheriff's badge is impersonating a police officer
Wait…. glock makes a revolver?!
Lol police like hold up right quick lol 😂
The cop transporting them really didn't want to say anything while the camera on, lol.
Lmao the bodyguard spend 2 years
Went from eating fried chicken to the back of a police car….
Anyone else notice the driving officer running the stop sign? 8:40 and the red light at 13:40
They found a Glock .357-caliber revolver though? I need to get me one of those.
Not why he was arrested In this video that's all i wanted to know not his whole back ground of being a wanna be cop
He said what? Sheriff 's not Policemen ? So he hired a true dummy that's going to get him in trouble eventually wow..
I Give That Transport Officer Credit, I Would Have Faced Him & Said
“Shut The Fuck Up†& Punched Him
“Why all of a sudden i went from eatin’ friiiied chicken, to I’m in the back of a police carrrrr?!?!?†🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀💀💀🤦ðŸ½â€â™‚ï¸
It’s Obvious he’s a fake cop because he still got on the gloves so that means that he isn’t trying to have his fingerprints all over the car
The non stop talk security guard had the coke. 100%
I need to get me one of those Glock 357 caliber revolvers lmao
“I went from eating fried chicken to now I’m in the back of a police car†😂 too good
like how in the description says the officer was in an "arresty" mood, when no fessed up to the drugs. Thats typically what happens when no one at the scene confesses…..
TYRONE, IT IS ILLEGAL TO EAT CHICKEN IN ATLANTA. YOU ARE UNDER ARREST.
Glock .357 Revolver . Some Idiot actually types that ! ?
Soooo…this man is taken to the police station but not read Miranda charged with a crime or arrested, this seems a violation of due process to me. 10:25 he is being detained? against his will? to another location? the defense attorney will have a field day with this one. unless he is too stupid and gets the public defender.
17:26 Brown says “I just be quiet and watch Bro, you haven’t shut up for 17 minutes and 26 seconds so far!
At least the transporting officer caused the show to not happen. Some justice was served.
