According to TMZ, Chopper also known as Kevin Barnes, was arrested in Annapolis, Maryland on April 14. He is currently awaiting to be transferred to Las Vegas for sex trafficking charges in Sin City.

One was described of Chopper on an airplane making references to being a pimp as he posed with a phone and a caption that read, “ Sending em 👑” alongside a money bag and crown emoji.

Reports read that Chopper had contacted the undercover detective unknowingly bragging about his claimed lifestyle of frequently traveling and being a seven time home owner through out the country. Officials claim that Chopper told them that conducting his business in Sin City was no longer safe because law enforcement was coming down on illegal activity.
