Why was comedienne Sommore in jail?

Answer 1

February 3, 2001 Queen of Comedy Sommore Cleared of Drug Conspiracy Charges Female comedian Sommore was found not guilty on all seven counts of drug conspiracy charges yesterday by a Federal Court judge. Sommore, whose real name is Lori Ann Rambough, was indicted in February 2000 and shortly thereafter began a year-long trial in Washington, D.C. The Washington Post reported that she was accused of mailing packages of cocaine from Los Angeles to Washington as part of a drug ring back in 1988 in which she plead innocent. While leaving the court yesterday, the comedian stated, "I am blessed and happy to have been found innocent of all the charges brought against me. I kept my faith and didn't falter. I am so grateful for the support of my friends and fans, because they never gave up on me."

Sommore has a reoccurring role on the UPN sitcom The Hughley's, which stars fellow BET Comic View host alumni D.L. Hughley. The comedian is also the sister of actress Nia Long and is currently headlining the Queens of Comedy Tour which also stars Mo'Nique, Adele Givens, and is hosted by Miss Laura Hayes.

There is no public record of Sommore, the comedian, being in jail. It is possible that this information is false or based on a rumor.
