A Houston, Texas, man who made a rap song about robbing ATMs was arrested after allegedly committing the crime, according to local news.
Ladesion Riley, 30, was arrested at a Motel 6 in Dickson, Tennessee, on Monday, WZTV reported.
Nashville Metropolitan Police said three other people identified as 32-year-old Sashondre Dugas, 27-year-old Darius Dugas, and 27-year-old Christopher Alton were also taken into custody in connection to robbing an ATM technician.
According to police, two of them confronted the victim, telling him "to not do anything stupid and hand over the money."
Police said they were able to track the group after finding out that one of the getaway cars, described as a Hyundai Elantra, was rented from Hertz.
According to the news release, authorities were able to locate the group at the motel with the help of helicopter units and saw them moving the money into a Jeep.
"When the Dugas couple and Riley pulled away from the motel in the Jeep, and as Alton drove away in the Hyundai, Dickson Police moved in with the assistance of the Nashville Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation," the news release said.
The FBI is investigating the matter, and the group is facing federal charges, law enforcement officials said.
Riley, who goes by the moniker "213 Jugg god," allegedly made a song titled "Make It Home" about "jugging" ATMs out of state, according to a tweet from the Houston Police Officers' Union.
"If you're going to rap about it, then turn around and be about it and get caught, that's on you," Douglas Griffith, president of the police union, told FOX 26."You shouldn't do stupid crap, and you definitely shouldn't violate the law and talk about it."
