Despite all of the recent clemency releases and the health risks of COVID-19 inside of U.S. prisons, Detroit-bred street Legend Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory is still behind bars on a 30-year federal sentence. His brother, Terry “Southwest T” Flenory, was granted an early release due to COVID-19 concerns in May 2019.
Even though he was denied an early release because of alleged behavioral issues, the BMF head honcho appears to be holding up well behind the wall as seen in the picture above.
The 52-year-old Flenory is scheduled for release in 2032.
Genesis Hansen, a 21-year-old student at Oregon State University, was stopped by police for not riding in between the lanes. When she refused to hand over her identification, which she had full right to do, the police roughly arrested her and the video of the moment is now public.
As reported by the Corvallis Gazette-Times, Hansen as riding in Corvallis on October 13 when state police approached her for not riding within the lines. The officer questioned Hansen, who stood her legal ground in refusing to answer the trooper’s inquiry and handing over her identification.
When another trooper was called in, they begin to push her to the ground and arrest her roughly although it’s clear Hansen isn’t moving. After some time, she is placed in the back of the squad car as a crowd gathered at the scene demanding to know why the police were detaining her.
Hansen was arrested for interfering with an officer and resisting arrest, but Benton District Attorney John Haroldson has sided with Hansen in noting that she was correct in not having to hand over her identification and that she will not be charged. However, Haroldson stopped short of levying charges against the officers based on what evidence was presented.
A number of NAACP leaders in the Northwest are backing Hansen and demand an apology from the Oregon State Police and Corvallis Police Department along with asking OSU to support Hansen in this troubling time.
The video, which we warn could be disturbing to some, can be viewed below.

A white man with links to a white supremacist prison gang was sentenced to life in prison this past Tuesday for the murder of a Black Oregon teenager in 2016. Russell Orlando Courtier reportedly fought with 19-year-old Larnell Bruce Jr. outside a 7-Eleven store ahead of the vicious murder.
Russell Orlando Courtier, 40, also must serve that prison time on top of a four-year term he previously received for a 2015 bar attack.
Courtier had hoped for a slightly shorter sentence — life with a minimum of 25 years — for killing 19-year-old Larnell Bruce Jr. by running into him with a Jeep after the two got into a fistfight outside a 7-Eleven in August 2016. A jury found him guilty in March.
The prosecution isn’t sure what prompted the fight, but said Courtier was a member of a white supremacist prison gang and was wearing the gang’s logo on his baseball cap and had it tattooed on one of his legs when he encountered Bruce outside the convenience store.
A moment later, surveillance video captured Bruce sprinting down a nearby street and then a sidewalk in a desperate attempt to get away from Courtier and the Jeep.
The outlet adds that members of Bruce’s family spoke directly to Courtier, including his biological mother which moved her son’s killer to to tears. However, Bruce’s stepmother was not moved by Courtier’s emotional display, and his father also questioned the role of white supremacy in the world.
