One of Jeremy’s first notable criminal activities happened in 2002 when he was charged with corporal injury to a child as well as with robbery.

Around this time, he admitted that he was a member of the North Side Gangster Crips. In 2014, he was arrested during a gang sweep called Operation Ceasefire in Stockton, California – during this time, the police posted a mug shot of him on Facebook which went viral; he was subsequently convicted of grand theft and possession of a firearm, and was sentenced to 27 months in prison, being dubbed as a “hot felon” by the media.
