19-year-old Jamion Boyd, 18-year-old Eivin Kent, and a minor related to Boyd were observed on camera holding a sign that solicited donations from passersby in front of The Pub around 6:45 p.m. on June 4th. Officers noticed he was using a Venmo Link, so they scanned the QR code on the signs. The code redirected them to a Venmo account address different from the one on the official team website. Kent would not give officers his identity, so they detained him. Officers discovered that the three were acting as representatives of the Stars Basketball Club. The juvenile was also found to be soliciting with a similar sign. Boyd was taken into custody and charged with criminal impersonation and contributing to the delinquency of a minor on June 4th.
Jamion Darrell Boyd of Creekwood Drive in Nashville, TN, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on June 4th, charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor and criminal impersonation. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $2,000, and the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office gave him pre-trial release from their facility.
