Bogus Booking Agent Booked Into County Jail: Cops

BOLINGBROOK, IL — A Bolingbrook booking agent wanted for bilking a bar owner out of thousands by promising performances from formerly famous hip hop acts was arrested and jailed, police said.

Romarick Lynn Hough, 34, was booked into custody on felony theft charges Wednesday morning.

Hough allegedly scammed Robert Zalewski, the listed owner of the Tailgaters Sports Bar & Grill, out of as much as $100,000, according to a criminal complaint on file in Will County court.

Hough allegedly accepted cash from Zalewski “under the representation he would procure” Naughty by Nature and Bizzy Bone to perform at the Bolingbrook bar. Hough was actually just out to rip off Zalewski and take away his money, the complaint said.

Naughty By Nature — winners of the 1996 Best Rap Album Grammy — are scheduled to play in Spring, Texas, on Saturday. Bizzy Bone lost 30 pounds by “giving up alcohol, cutting out fast food and keeping his stress in check,” according to People Magazine.

Hough's bond was previously set at $170,000.
