Quando Rondo Sentenced to 33 Months in Prison

Rapper Quando Rondo, whose real name is Tyquian Bowman, has been sentenced to 33 months in federal prison after pleading guilty to conspiracy to possess and distribute marijuana. After reaching a plea deal that reduced more serious charges, Rondo was also ordered to pay a $40,000 fine and will undergo three years of supervised release post-incarceration, during which he must comply with drug testing, mental health treatment, and avoid gang members. He expressed a positive outlook on his sentence, viewing it as an opportunity for rehabilitation. The ruling reflects concerns from the court regarding the influence of public figures like Rondo on youth, emphasizing the need for accountability. His sentencing comes amid ongoing legal troubles, including an open DUI case. Rondo must report to prison by January 10, 2025, but will spend Christmas at home before beginning his sentence.
