NEW JERSEY - Federal authorities on Thursday arrested rapper Tsu Surf on a federal RICO charge in connection with a DEA case, FOX 5 News has learned.
The U.S. Marshals Service NY NJ Regional Fugitive Task Force busted Tsu Surf at a home in Jersey City, sources said.
Tsu Surf was at the home with a woman. They tried to go out the back door but then when they went outside, they saw that there was a lot of law enforcement, sources said. He and the woman went back into the house and refused to come out for about an hour.
Authorities called in crisis negotiators, who then talked with Tsu Surf until he peacefully surrendered, sources said.
Tsu Surf was taken to the Essex County Jail. The feds have a contract with the county to keep federal detainees there. He is expected to go before a judge in federal court in Newark sometime Friday.
A Jersey City Emergency Services Unit and a negotiation team joined the government law enforcement agency in an attempt to get Cox to surrender peacefully.
After about 20 minutes, Cox turned himself in to authorities without further incident and the charged with Racketeering, officials said.
Cox is being held at the Essex County Jail in Newark.
The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) of 1970 seeks to strengthen the legal tools in evidence gathering by establishing new penal prohibitions and providing enhanced sanctions and new remedies for dealing with the unlawful activities of those engaged in organized crime.
