His first arrest was for a passenger in a stolen vehicle when he was 13 years old. He also spent 31 months in prison between 2008 and 2011 for repeatedly stabbing an alleged opponent.

Throughout all the upheavals in Kevin’s life, Dreka has remained the constant positive influence in his life. She stayed true to him through the drama and “the dirt” and helped him become a better person.
