Kool Keith Returns Stolen Money

After Kool Keith's peeps (inc. Tim Dog & Jacky Jasper) fled Slims nightclub in San Francisco late Weds night (11/20) with the club receipts: as reported here yesterday they ran off after Kool Keith never showed up to join his crew in concert onstage. That was about 11:40PM after announcing onstage that "Kool Keith was arrested....on Mission Street." Reportedly a few hours later, at approximately 2:30AM, Keith's manager came by the club, returned the money in full and apologized.

Apparently he was prompted to do so upon learning that the club had called the cops on the rappers who wouldn't have been too hard for the SFPD to find in their big marked tour bus. And what about Kool Keith getting arrested by the cops on Mission? Or the story that he later managed to bail himself out and then take a cab to the getaway bus? Well, the SFPD have no record of any arrest of a Keith Thornton. To Kool Keith and his management's credit however he did offer to do a free show at Slims. Stay tuned for details. Meanwhile press folkers for the official word contact Dawn at Slims.
