It appears Blueface catches a break in Las Vegas as he currently serves a 24-60 month sentence in Los Angeles.
According to 8NewsNow, the 27-year-old recording artist was granted probation again by a Las Vegas judge after the artist was accused of probation violation for a 2023 shooting case.
Currently serving a sentence in California, Blueface, real name Jonathan Porter, attended the Las Vegas hearing on June 24 via telephone. Porter will avoid prison time if he complies with the conditions set by Clark County District Court Judge Kathleen Delaney, who imposed up to three years of probation and suspended a two-to-five-year sentence. In addition, Delaney sentenced Porter to 30 days in jail but credited him with time already served.
According to Blueface’s probation conditions, he must abstain from alcohol and drugs, including marijuana, avoid downtown corridors and the Las Vegas Strip unless for work or legitimate reasons, attend impulse control counseling, avoid contact with the shooting victim, keep a full-time job, obey curfews, report to parole and probation, and give the Division of Parole and Probation access to communication devices and social media apps.
In October 2023, Judge Delaney initially sentenced Blueeface to a two-to-five-year suspended sentence for a shooting outside a Las Vegas strip club the previous year. She issued stern warnings, particularly concerning firearms, emphasizing that any probation violation involving a weapon would lead to significant prison time.
The shooting left one man injured. The victim, shot in the hand outside Euphoric Gentlemen’s Club, identified the artist as the shooter following a joke about Blueface “speaking with some females in a cheap vehicle.”
Prosecutors initially charged the artist with attempted murder, but a plea deal reduced the charges to battery and discharging a firearm at or into an occupied structure. He was ordered to pay over $13 million in damages to the now-closed strip club, which lost its licenses immediately after the shooting.
In June, police arrested Blueface on a robbery charge as he entered court, accused of stealing a fan’s phone at the Palms casino. Prosecutors agreed to dismiss this charge after the artist’s sentencing in the shooting case.
Blueface’s attorney stated that he is cooperating with law enforcement and eager to continue his career. He is scheduled to appear in court on July 29 for his Los Angeles case.
