Ol Dirty Bastard mug shot1

 

The FBI has made public a 94-page file on late Wu Tang Clan member Ol’ Dirty B*stard. The file claims that ODB and other Wu Tang Clan members were involved in various crimes ranging from drug dealing, murder, illegal guns, weapons possession and car j*cking in the 80’s and 90’s.

 

In a post dated January 8, 2012, Rich Jones of the GUN.IO blog says he obtained the files from the FBI under the Freedom Of Information Act.

 

One of my hobbies is liberating government documents using Freedom of Information Act requests,” Jones writes. “The FBI’s FOIA policy allows you to get the file of anybody who is deceased, so I filed a request to get all documents mentioning Russell Tyreese Jones, aka Ol’ Dirty B*stard, aka ODB, aka Big Baby Jesus, member of the Wu-Tang Clan hip hop collective, who died in 2004 of an accidental drug overdose, a lethal mixture of cocaine and the prescription drug Tramadol, a synthetic opiate. The FBI responded with 94 pages of police reports, court proceedings and news clippings, which cover an assortment of crimes perpetrated by and against ODB.

 

The documents indicate that Bloods gang members were used in some instances as enforcers for the Clan.
