Lil Boosie is now facing two felony marijuana possesion charges in Georgia for a drug bust which occurred back in April.
Earlier this year, the Louisiana rapper was pulled over by police in Newnan, Georgia after cops saw his white Dodge Charger swerving in and out of the lanes, and nearly hitting another car. Police later searched the vehicle, where they found a handgun, weed and more than $20,000 in cash.
The D.A. in Coweta County later charged Boosie with possession of less than one ounce of marijuana, and possession of a controlled substance. They also added on a traffic violation for failure to maintain his lane. They did however decide not to charge him for the handgun possession. Considering he is a convicted felon, a gun charge would not be in his best interests.
It has not been determined why Boosie got a pass with the gun. He had a passenger in the car at the time of the incident, who Boosie claims is his bodyguard. He is also facing the same two drug charges as of now. If convicted, both of them are looking at least one year in prison, depending on how many grams of weed they had.
Boosie is no stranger to drug charges, as he previously served five years in Louisiana for yet another marijuana charge. He was also caught attempting to smuggle drugs into the prison, which added eight years onto his original sentence. However, he was released early and placed on parole until 2018.
It is unclear whether or not the gun charges for the bodyguard have been dropped.
