Texas Thief Who Rapped About Robbing ATMs Arrested For Robbing ATM

Four people, including a Texas music artist who raps about robbing ATMs, have been arrested for stealing from a cash machine in Tennessee earlier this week.

Ladesion Riley, 30, lived out his own lyrics when he was charged for allegedly holding up an ATM technician at a Bank of America in Nashville on Monday, June 6, according to the Nashville Metropolitan Police Department.

"Four persons from Texas are in custody for the 10:40 a.m. alleged robbery of a man servicing a Bank of America ATM on Thompson Lane," police said on Facebook.

The other suspects are Darius Dugas, 27, Sashondre Dugas, 32, and Christopher Alton, 27. All are from Houston.

"Two of the defendants approached the victim from behind and told him to not do anything stupid and hand over the money," police said. They robbed the cash machine and fled in vehicles.

Police were able to determine that one of the getaway cars, a Hyundai Elantra, had been rented through Hertz. Investigators used aviation units to track down the Hyundai and a maroon Jeep that accompanied to a Motel 6 in Dickson, Tenn.

"Detectives watched as what appeared to be cash was loaded into the Jeep. When the Dugas couple and Riley pulled away from the motel in the Jeep, and as Alton drove away in the Hyundai, Dickson Police moved in," the statement read.

The suspects were apprehended just after checking out of the motel, police said.

Riley, who goes by the rap name 213 Jugg God, released a song on YouTube last month titled, ‘Make it Home’.

The lyrics describes robbing ATMs, having thousands of dollars in the car, and praying that they make it home without getting caught by police.

On Monday, police made a social media post mocking the rapper along with images of money that had been recovered following the arrests.

"IRONY: When you make a rap song called “Make It Home”, about bank jugging and hitting atm’s out of state, and then don’t make it home to Houston…" the department said with laughing face emojis.

President of the Houston Police Officer's Union, Douglas Griffith, said Riley’s "dumb" music "saddens" him.

"Convicted felons doing their music videos with guns. How dumb is that? That right there is enough for them to get charged again," Griffith told Fox 26 Houston.

"They want to glorify the fact that they're criminals. That saddens me because we have all of these kids watching this, and they're glorifying it, and these kids look up to them."

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is investigating whether they committed similar robberies elsewhere.
