Tory Lanez mugshot is revealed as he’s sent back to state prison after being denied bail for shooting Meghan Thee Stallion

Tony Lanez’s cringy new photo was revealed today, five days after he was denied bail and sent to prison for shooting Meghan Thee Stallion.

Lanez was convicted of firearms offenses and sentenced to 10 years in prison for the shooting earlier this year.

He appealed and asked to be released on bail while his appeal was heard.

The request was denied last week, with Los Angeles Superior Court Judge David Herriford telling him: “Your request for bail will be denied.” »

He is currently being held at North Kern State Prison in Delano, California. TMZ got the first photo of his photo on Wednesday.

The judge cited three reasons why he denied Lanez’s request for bail.

Listing them, he said: “You have been convicted of a violent crime.

“You have a history of violating court orders…And you are not a U.S. citizen,” putting the musician at greater risk of flight.

The denial of bail comes five weeks after Lanez – real name Daystar Peterson – was sentenced to 10 years in prison following a trial jury’s unanimous guilty verdict last December for three crimes with gun resulting from his shooting Megan’s feet during a drunken argument in 2020.

He had pleaded not guilty to all three charges.

Lanez’s lawyers appealed – against the jury’s conviction and the 10-year sentence – to the California Court of Appeal.

And on Thursday, one of them — Crystal Morgan — urged the judge to grant bail to Lanez, 31, until the appeal is resolved.

She argued that her client is now married to his girlfriend Raina Chassagne – mother of his six-year-old son Kai – who are both US citizens.

Morgan claimed that Lanez had “strong ties” to the Los Angeles community and that while he was out on bail, before being convicted of the gun charges, he traveled overseas and always showed up for his court hearings.

The attorney also told Judge Herriford that Lanez would surrender his passport and wear an ankle bracelet to ensure he did not flee.

‘Mr. Peterson is not a threat to society,” she added.

Prosecutor and Deputy Prosecutor Kathy Tar opposed the bail request, calling Lanez a “danger to the community” and a “significant flight risk.”

She also cast doubt on his alleged close ties to Los Angeles saying “his community ties are not particularly convincing.”

Judge Herriford agreed with prosecutors and denied Lanez’s request for bail.

During the trial, Megan, 28, tearfully told the jury that she and Lanez – with whom she had a sexual relationship – attended a pool party on July 12, 2020 at Kylie Jenner’s home and were in her SUV in the Hollywood Hills with her best friend and assistant Kelsey Harris when an alcohol-fueled argument broke out.

Megan, real name Megan Pete, asked the driver to stop the car and she got out. Then, she said Lanez yelled “Dance bitch” and shot her five times with a gun, injuring her feet so badly that she needed surgery.

She testified in court that Lanez offered her and Harris $1 million to keep quiet about the shooting and asked them not to report him because he was already “on probation.”

Megan also said Lanez later apologized to her, saying he was drunk at the time of the shooting.

Just before his sentencing last month, Lanez – whose lawyers had said suffered from alcoholism and mental trauma following the death of his mother when he was young – begged the judge not to send him to prison , making an emotional speech about his relationship with his victim Megan.

“We lost both our mothers,” he said. “We would sit there and drink until we were numb…..

“That night, everyone was drunk, I said some very immature things… I was wrong. If I could go back, I would… I apologize.

“There have been misconceptions that I am this monster and I have no remorse. But that’s simply not true.

“Everything I did that night, I take responsibility for it. I ask you for the chance to be a better father, a better mentor.

“I ask you not to judge me solely on this matter, but on my entire life. I have a habitual disorder: I want to be a better person.

Lanez’s 10-year prison sentence includes six years for the first count of assault with a semi-automatic firearm, plus an extension of four consecutive years for that charge because it resulted in serious bodily injury to Megan.

The judge imposed a two-year prison sentence for discharging a firearm with gross negligence, but suspended that sentence.

And for the third charge of possessing a loaded firearm in a vehicle, he sentenced Lanez to two years in prison, to be combined with the 10 years.

Judge Herriford – who ordered the musician to pay a $5,000 “restitution fine” – credited him with 305 days of jail time already served during his eight months in prison since his conviction in December, including 40 days of house arrest.
