Wiz Khalifa Arrested on Drug Charges

[I really wish they released his mugshot. For some reason I can see him smiling that cheesy smile he does sometimes. haha]

"Wiz Khalifa was arrested on Monday night in Greenville, North Carolina, on drug
charges after authorities allegedly smelled marijuana smoke coming from his tour
bus.

...Khalifa, who is very vocal about his marijuana use, was stopped by ECU police officers as he left the venue. '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,' Durham said.

'They asked if he would cooperate with officers, and he agreed, and they went on his bus, and then he and nine members of his entourage were arrested...' Durham said. Police are alleged to have seized more than 60 grams of pot during the bust, or the equivalent of about 2 ounces.

On Tuesday morning (November 9)... Khalifa (born Cameron Thomaz) was booked into the jail at around 1:30 a.m. He posted $300,000 bail and was released from detention at around 8 a.m. ET, along with one other unnamed member of his entourage. He was charged with a felony count of trafficking in marijuana, a felony count of maintaining a dwelling/vehicle/place for sale or storage of marijuana and one misdemeanor charge of possession of drug paraphernalia.

Keith Stroup, legal council at the marijuana legalization advocacy group NORML said it's more
than likely that Khalifa's lawyers will make a plea agreement in which the rapper — who boasted in a recent interview about a $10,000-a-month weed habit and launched his own brand of rolling papers last month — will agree to possession of marijuana for personal use.

It was unclear at press time if police had found any such evidence of intent to distribute.

Stroup said that in North Carolina, possession of more than 1 1/2 ounces of marijuana is a felony
punishable by up to 12 months in jail, but that it is unlikely that prosecutors would pursue a trial and they would likely opt for a plea deal instead.

A spokesperson for Khalifa could not be reached for comment at press time."

He even tweeted about his arrest earlier today with "waken...baken...wrist still achin. thnx for tha love and support", "man, jail sux! but bein taylor'd doesn't", and "finna get tha rest of these fools out and grab sum grub" lol. I don't think Wiz has any shame haha.

You think this arrest would make him stop smoking that kush? I HIGHLY doubt it. Maybe next time, though, he and his entourage will be a little more cautious.

P.S. Wiz, don't smoke on campus grounds when YOU KNOW there are cops trying to bust students for smoking out also. Just saying...
