Famed rapper Lil Wayne entered a plea deal on a drug and weapons charge last Friday that could prevent him from spending more time behind bars. If he were to spend more time in jail, this time around it would be in Arizona.
The 27-year-old made his live plea via video from New York City's Riker's Island jail, where he is serving a one-year sentence for attempted criminal possession of a weapon. Lil Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Carter, pleaded guilty to one count of possession of a dangerous drug.
The father of four's Arizona adventure dates back to 2008, when his tour bus was stopped at a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint about 80 miles east of Yuma. When his vehicle was searched by Drug Enforcement Administration officials, they reportedly found nearly four ounces of marijuana, just over an ounce of cocaine, 41 grams of ecstasy and miscellaneous drug paraphernalia on the bus. A .40-caliber handgun registered to the Grammy Award-winning rapper was also discovered. Wayne does however, have a concealed weapons permit in Florida.
DEA agents proceeded to arrest Lil Wayne on the spot. According to published reports, charges of possession of a narcotic drug for sale, misconduct involving weapons and possession of drug paraphernalia against him were dismissed in exchange for the plea.
Wayne will be sentenced on June 30, and there is talk that he could receive 36 months of probation for the Arizona charges that could begin once his Riker's stint is done.
