Bronx drill rapper DThang (aka DThang Gz, born Demario Montez Thomas) has been arrested in Miami for allegedly possessing a firearm as a convicted felon. The arrest is the latest legal issue for the rapper, who already has a lengthy history with gang‑related indictments in New York.
What the Charges Say
- The arrest took place on June 30, 2025, when Miami law enforcement detained DThang for gun possession.
- Authorities say he was charged under a statute that bars convicted felons from legally holding firearms, making this a serious offense.
- His bail was set at $15,000, which he reportedly posted.
- Prosecutors in court referenced prior firearm offenses in arguing that he presents a risk of reoffending.
His Criminal History & Gang Indictment
- In 2022, DThang was part of a sweeping 65‑count indictment against 34 alleged members of the RPT gang in the Bronx. Charges included conspiracy to commit murder, attempted murder, assault, illegal weapon possession, and animal cruelty.
- One of the more bizarre charges involved live‑streaming a pigeon beating, which prosecutors tied to gang symbolism.
- DThang was reportedly released earlier in 2024 after serving time on part of that case.
What Comes Next
- The new weapon charge could compound legal risk and lengthen his incarceration, especially given his past record.
- The case likely will go through discovery, where investigators will look at how the firearm was obtained, prior offenses, and intent.
- Legal observers will be watching closely to see how Florida’s firearm sentencing guidelines impact this case for a convicted felon.
- DThang’s public response, legal team statements, and court filings in the coming weeks will shed more light on how aggressively he will fight the charge.
