An angry “Offset,” one of three members of the rap group Migos arrested on guns and drug charges following a Georgia Southern University concert, yelled profanities as he was led out of a Bulloch County courtroom Friday, after he was denied bond.

Kiari Kendrell Cephus of Lawrenceville, who is known by the stage name “Offset,” was one of the three Migos members arrested after the April 18 Spring Bling concert at Georgia Southern’s Hanner Fieldhouse.

Two other Migos members, Kirshnick Khari Ball, known by the stage name “Takeoff,” and Quavious Keyatz Marshall, known by the stage name “Quavo,” both of Lawrenceville, were released previously on bonds of $10,000 each, according to jail records. They were each charged with marijuana possession, possession of a Schedule II controlled substance, carrying a weapon in a school safety zone (felony), possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.

Cephus was charged with the same offenses, as well as possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. After a fight in the Bulloch County Jail May 2, charges were added – battery and causing a riot in a penal institution.

Fifteen others were arrested after the April 18 concert. All posted bond except seven, including Cephus, who were initially denied bond by the Ogeechee Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s Office. All seven faced Bulloch County Superior Court Judge John R. Turner Friday during bond hearings for each.

Turner denied bond for two others Friday. Dimitri Lesley Roger of Marietta and Kevin Markees Purnell of Atlanta, both charged with marijuana possession, possession of a schedule II controlled substance, carrying a weapon in a school safety zone (felony), possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Assistant District Attorney Barclay Black, prosecutor for the case, argued for bond denial due to the suspects’ past criminal history of felony convictions. Cephus’ criminal history includes theft, probation violations, burglary, drug violations and criminal street gang activity, he said.

Roger and Purnell have similar backgrounds, including the street gang connections, he said. The group’s name. Migos, comes from the street gang called the Black Migos, he said.

Turner issued bonds for four others who were initially denied bond immediately after their arrest at GSU April 18.

Willie Evans Bland of Columbus, Gregory Smith of Lawrenceville and Shelton Nesbitt of Newnan all were released on $20,000 bond each. They all face charges of marijuana possession, possession of a schedule II controlled substance, carrying a weapon in a school safety zone (felony), possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. Nesbitt also has a charge of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Shannon Lashay Jackson of Atlanta was the only woman arrested in connection with the April 18 incident. Charged with marijuana possession and carrying a weapon in a school safety zone (felony), she was given a $10,000 bond.

Also, Turner banned the four granted bond from returning to Bulloch County and directed them not to contact others involved in the case.
