Nathaniel Glover, better known as Kidd Creole from Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five, has been sentenced to 16 years in prison stemming from a first degree manslaughter conviction, TMZ reports. Last month, a New York Supreme Court jury found Glover guilty of stabbing an unhoused man to death in August 2017. TMZ reports that in addition to the 16-year sentence, Glover will face five years of post-release supervision.
Glover was arrested and indicted in 2017 after stabbing a 55-year old man named John Jolly, who was unhoused and unacquainted with Glover. The original police report alleged that Glover stabbed Jolly in the torso two times on August 1, 2017 at East 44th Street and 3rd Avenue in New York. Following the attack, Glover is said to have fled to his workplace, changed clothes, and disposed of the knife in a sewer. Jolly was found by tourists and transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
