Durk gave his fan a hint that he was going to turn himself in on Wednesday, May 29th by posting a picture on Instagram saying nothing but the words “Turning myself in tomorrow”. Unfortunately, the judge didn’t see to it that Durk should be released on bail, and that may be because of the 5 felonies tied to his name: criminal attempt to commit murder, aggravated assault, possession of firearm during commission of a felony, possession of firearm by a convicted felon , and association with a criminal street gang to participate in a crime.

Durk’s last time seeing jail was back in 2012 over a gun charge. He pleaded during a bail hearing that he didn’t run, but that he willing worked with police by turning himself inn and added the fact that he has a home in Atlanta with his fiance, India Royale and he newborn baby girl, Willow, so he has no intentions on fleeing. But as stated, the judge saw it so that Durk will awake his court trial date in jail, which is scheduled for June 14th.
