Rapper Lil Wayne could avoid jail time in Arizona on drug and weapon charges after entering a plea agreement with prosecutors.
During a change of plea hearing Friday in which he appeared via video from a New York jail, the 27-year-old Grammy winner pleaded guilty to one count of possession of a dangerous drug.
The charge stems from an incident in January 2008 in which his tour bus was stopped at a US Border Patrol checkpoint in Arizona. Authorities say they found cocaine, Ecstasy and a handgun on the tour bus.
Prosecutors say the rapper, whose real name is Dwayne Carter, is scheduled to be sentenced June 30 and could receive 36 months of probation. He's currently serving an eight-month jail term in New York after pleading guilty last October to attempted criminal possession of a weapon.
Give him the full time he deserves. he knew what he was doing and he'll do it more when he gets out. I kno he a "public figure" blah blah blah but come on, it's not like it was marijuana he was carrying...
