Grammy award-winning music producer Max Adam Lord has been charged with felony possession of assault weapons and silencers weeks after a barricade incident at his studio.
Lord, 30, and DeAvonte Kimble, 30, were both arrested after a barricade situation where LAPD SWAT team were called in and found 'several assault rifles, handguns, and 3 firearm suppressors, high-capacity magazines, assault rifle building parts/components, and thousands of rounds of ammunition' on January 4.
Lord, 30, is best known for his work on Juice Wrld's posthumous album 'Legends Never Die' and has worked with major artists like Cardi B, Future, and Travis Scott.
In California, a felony possession of an assault weapon can be penalized by three years in prison and a $10,000 fine, according to one local law agency.

Lord is facing eight felony counts of possession of an assault weapon and four felony counts of possession of a silencer, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.
'It doesn't matter if you are an influential member of the entertainment community or someone who has never been in the spotlight, my office will hold accountable anyone who illegally possesses these unlawful devices and deadly weapons,' said District Attorney George Gascón in a statement Friday.

The criminal complaint states Lord, part of the massively successful 808Mafia music-producing group, was found with multiple semiautomatic rifles, AR-style altered semiautomatic pistols, and firearm silencers.
'Assault weapons and devices that muffle a firearm are illegal in California,' said Gascón. 'The proliferation of firearms has skyrocketed since the beginning of the pandemic.'
In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Lord said he was hosting Kimble when SWAT burst into the studio around 5.20am.
'There was a very heavy show of force. A high number of officers with a lot of equipment. Luckily, they didn't break too much stuff — other than turn the house upside down,' Lord said.

According to Lord, the raid stemmed from warrants related to Kimble.
'They got a warrant that included the residence [Kimble] was in. It's my studio. Essentially, I got dragged into it because of the other warrant [for Kimble],' Lord said.
Kimble was charged with assault with a deadly weapon by the Los Angeles, but police did not provide insight into the incident.
He was also charged with being a parolee at large. His bail was revoked.
Lord told the LA Times he did not know about the assault with a deadly weapons charge when asked.
According to the Chicago Sun-Times, Kimble was arrested in 2018 on suspicion of illegal firearm possession alongside rapper G Herbo.

He has also been charged with one misdemeanor count of escape from arrest, according to the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office.
He pleaded not guilty and will appear Monday at the Airport Branch Courthouse.
Kimble has not bailed out since his January 4 arrest, jail records indicate.

When asked by the Los Angeles Times about the guns and ammo found at his studio, Lord declined to comment.
'I wasn't targeted. The detectives told me this would never happen to me,' he said.
The case was investigated by the Los Angeles Police Department.
'We must do everything we can to get these guns off the streets and out of the hands of those who don't lawfully possess them,' said Gascón.

The man who authorities allege may have intentionally driven a Tesla carrying his wife and two young children off a 250-foot oceanside cliff south of Pacifica earlier this month — a crash first responders called a “miracle” after everyone survived — has been released from the hospital and taken to jail, according to the San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office.
Dharmesh A. Patel, 41, a doctor from Pasadena, was booked into jail on suspicion of attempted murder and child abuse, the district attorney’s office said Friday night.
Prosecutors will finish reviewing the case Monday morning. If they decide to bring charges, Patel will be arraigned in court in Redwood City on Monday afternoon.
Authorities did not say when Patel was released from the hospital. The condition of the rest of his family also was unclear.

High-profile crashes involving Tesla vehicles often raise questions about the role that driver assistance features might have played, but the CHP refuted that idea shortly after the crash.
“There has been no determination as to what driving mode the Tesla was in,” the CHP said in a news release. “However, that does not appear to be a contributing factor in this incident.”
