His earlier plea deal erased gun charges and dropped other felonies, with the state recommending probation despite his extensive record. Released from prison last May, Pope now has a public defender handling both cases, is out on $5,000 bond with strict conditions, and his next court date is July 7th. Complicating matters, his arrest affidavit is sealed by a judge citing safety and ongoing investigations—leaving the whole case shrouded in mystery.
