Lil’ Wayne Arraigned On Drug Charges In ATL
Friday, November 2, 2007 By: Kenny Rodriguez
Lil’ Wayne has been arraigned on drug charges stemming from a 2006 arrest in an Atlanta hotel, where the New Orleans rapper was allegedly caught with possession of marijuana, Xanax, and hydrocone pills.
Wayne, born Dwayne Michael Carter, arrived at a three-hour court hearing but only stayed for 20 minutes, leaving shortly after pleading not guilty to three counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance.
According to reports, Wayne was arrested in August 2006 when police received a tip from a hotel employee. After searching his room, they allegedly found marijuana and over 100 Xanax and hydrocone pills.
William Head, Wayne’s lawyer, is seeking to have the case dismissed based on the illegality of the hotel search. He is also requesting an inspection of the evidence, primarily the seized pill bottles, and plans on having them dusted for fingerprints.
Wayne is due back in court on Nov. 20.
