Rapper Wiz Khalifa - Gets Busted With Marijuana Trafficking

Rapper Wiz Khalifa, named MTV’s “Hottest Breakthrough MC of 2010,” was arrested Monday night following a standing room only concert at East Carolina University.

Khalifa, who is a vocal advocate for marijuana and often touts his own use, was stopped while going to his tour bus to meet his band mates. John Durham, a spokesperson for East Carolina University, stated that ECU police stopped Khalifa as he left the concert venue. According to Durham, “He was on his way with his band to his bus parked outside, and they stopped him because of a strong odor of marijuana emanating from the bus and the backstage area of the auditorium.”

Khalifia cooperated with the police and was subsequently arrested along with nine members of his entourage for three marijuana related charges. Police allegedly seized about 2 ounces of pot during the arrest.

Khalifa, born Cameron Thomaz, was booked into the Pitt County Detention Center early Tuesday morning, where he was charged with one felony count of trafficking in marijuana, one felony count of maintaining a vehicle for sale or storage of marijuana and a misdemeanor charge of possession of drug paraphernalia. He quickly posted $300,000 bail and was released at 8 a.m. He was released along with one other entourage member who remains unnamed.

No indications were mentioned by police that they had found any evidence to support the trafficking allegation.

In North Carolina, possession of more than 1 1/2 ounces of marijuana is considered a felony and punishable by up to 12 months in jail. Most legal analysts don’t think the prosecutor will want to go to trial preferring to offer a plea bargain.

Khalifa tweeted to his fans that at about 11 a.m. ET, he had bailed out all of his entourage and was going to eat lunch.
