A federal court in the United States has ordered Dancehall entertainer Chronic Law to remain in custody until his trial. The court agreed with prosecutors that Chronic Law poses a danger to the community and is a flight risk.
This decision follows Chronic Law’s reported confession to federal authorities. In his confession, he agreed that he had four firearms in his possession when the police stopped him in Georgia last November. Authorities say one of the weapons was reported stolen in Florida.
The confession was detailed in an unsealed criminal complaint the FBI filed against him on July 1.
Chronic Law, whose real name is Akeme Jermane Campbell, has been transferred to Georgia, where the November 15 arrest occurred. This transfer followed an order by a judge in Florida on Friday.
Chronic Law faces a maximum prison sentence of 10 years. Prosecutors requested the court to detain him until his trial. Moreover, they branded him as a flight risk and a potential danger to the community. The court granted this request during a hearing on Friday.
Chronic Law Claims the FBI targets him.
The FBI arrested Chronic Law after performing in Florida on July 5. In a post on his Instagram story, he claims he is being targeted. He also alleges that the same federal agent was responsible for his last two arrests.
Court documents indicate that FBI Special Agent Andrew Nelson is the officer in charge of the latest arrest. Special Agent Nelson is part of the Miami-Dade County Safe Streets and Violent Gang Task Force.
In January, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detained the accused But the authorities never publicly discloses the circumstances surrounding that detention.
The July arrest is linked to an incident on November 15, 2025. At that time, Chronic Law was charged in Turner County, Georgia, for speeding and attempting to evade police.
Despite Chronic Law’s claims of being targeted, it seems that federal authorities have been building their case against him since his first arrest in Georgia last November. Furthermore, the authorities have confirmed that the Smith and Wesson firearm found in his vehicle was reported stolen in Florida.
Additionally, the federal authorities noted that a gun resembling a Smith and Wesson appears in the music video for Chronic Law’s song “Rich inna Farrin.” The same type of rifle is also featured in the music video for his song “No Check.”
