Quando Rondo Pleads Not Guilty To Multiple Charges Over High-Speed Car Crash

Quando Rondo has pleaded not guilty regarding multiples charges he received following a high-speed car crash last year.

On Thursday (September 19), Quando entered the plea, which stemmed from a July 2023 July 19, 2023 near northbound Harry S. Truman Parkway and White Bluff Road in Savannah, GA.

The rapper born Tyquian Bowman was arrested back in February.

At the time of the crash, Rondo was on bond for drug and gang charges in Georgia. Now, the rapper is out on bond for a federal drug conspiracy charge, for which he is scheduled to be sentenced on December 12.

Last month, Rondo officially pleaded guilty in the federal case that accused the rapper of being involved in a drug trafficking conspiracy.

According to WTOC, the Georgia rapper entered his plea during a court hearing on Tuesday (August 13) – after previously having come to a plea agreement for a lesser charge back in June.

Rondo was initially facing up to 20 years in prison after being arrested along with 18 other men last June on charges of weapon possession, drug conspiracy and participating in gang activity. As part of the agreement, however, he now only faces up to five years in prison.

Talking to reporters at a press conference at the conclusion of court, the rapper apologized to his hometown and his family and friends.

“I really wanna give an apology to the city of Savannah,” he said. “And I wanna give an apology to my family and friends, loved ones and most of all my daughters for taking all my family and all my loved ones through this stressful point.”

When arrested, Rondo (real name Tyquian Bowman) was charged with 14 counts including possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime, possession of a firearm by a prohibited person and conspiracy to interfere with commerce by robbery, as well as conspiring with others to possess and distribute drugs including methamphetamine, fentanyl, cocaine and marijuana.

He was previously charged with two counts of conspiracy to violate Georgia’s controlled substances law, one count of participating in criminal activity affiliated with a street gang, and one count of illegal use of a cell phone to facilitate a drug deal.

The 25-year-old was released from jail on bond shortly before Christmas after paying $100,000 bail.

Quando was then put on house arrest and had a number of bail conditions he had to strictly adhere to including enrolling in substance abuse treatment, surrendering his passport, having his location monitored, avoiding contact with any victims, witnesses or co-defendants and not changing his phone number.
