Wrong Place at the Wrong Time
“Everything was really, really, really good,” Wright Jr. said. “And sometime after it started going really well for us, we decided to move to New Jersey.” Naturally, Isaac went to see some old friends of his right as soon as he landed in New Jersey. He was happy to rekindle some old friendships. It was the late 1980s.

But this “honeymoon” phase upon landing in NJ was short-lived. Not before long, disaster struck. At the time, police were investigating a drug ring all around his friends’ neighborhood. Isaac recalled, “A group of police officers took down certain license plate numbers. That’s how I came to be on the police’s radar.” Authorities saw Isaac hanging around the wrong places. It was a classic case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
