Singer
Oyindamola Emmanuel Johnson-Hunga popularly known as Dammy Krane is off
the hook, as a court in Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States, has
struck out a charge of credit card forgery, armed conspiracy and grand
theft filed against him.
Dammy Krane was arrested in June.
He was alleged to have booked a private jet service with stolen credit card details.
Judge De La O Miguel who heard the case struck out the charge and ‘closed’ it. The singer was represented by Erik Courtney.
Krane
thanked his supporters on Twitter: “Sometimes life puts you through
trials and tribulations, not to bring you down but to make you stronger.
It will also show you who is truly with you, who really cares.
“Case closed. I’m a free man. Let’s get back to the music. One love. Back in the studio! New music on the way,” he tweeted.
Reports
from Florida last June had claimed that seven fake credit cards were
found in the pockets of Dammy Krane on 1 June when he was arrested at
Opa-locka Executive Airport in Miami Dade, Florida.
A
report in New Miami Times said the police slammed a nine count felony
charge at Miami Dade’s criminal court for credit card forgery and grand
theft against the 23 year-old pop artist.
Dammy
Krane’s trouble began after he allegedly used a bogus card to book a
private jet flight to Washington, D.C., police said. When the police
searched him, they found seven false credit cards in his wallet,
according to the police report, details of which Miami New Times
published today.
Agents
from the mobile-phone booking app TapJets had called police, when they
found that the first card Dammy Krane tendered was bogus. The jet
company told Miami-Dade Police that Krane and a partner, Chukwuebuka
Ilochonwu, had booked a $10,943 trip on a jet from Opa-locka to
Washington, D.C.
Two
MDPD officers staked out the jet runway until Krane and Ilochonwu
showed up. Police searched the pair and found seven cards in Krane’s
pants pocket. When authorities checked the cards later, all seven had
numbers on the face that didn’t match the numbers on the security strip
on the back.
MDPD
said Krane used one of those cards to book his flight and then gave
TapJet two other fake cards when he was asked for backup cards for the
travel.
