The case stems from a January 22, 2008, incident in which officers at a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint some 80 miles east of Yuma found an ounce of cocaine, nearly four ounces of marijuana, 41 grams of Ecstasy, and a .40-caliber handgun registered to Wayne on his tour bus (which at the time contained 11 other people), leading to charges felony possession of a narcotic drug for sale, possession of dangerous drugs, misconduct involving weapons and possession of drug paraphernalia—for which Wayne may have faced a 36-month prison term, if convicted.
According to a Reuters report, all other charges were dismissed today in exchange for Wayne, born Dwayne Carter, pleading guilty to one count of possession of a dangerous drug. Wayne himself did not make the trip, appearing instead via video hookup from Rikers.

This is complete Bulls@%t! If this was any regular person, they would be in jail for years. This isn’t even his first crime and he gets probabtion? Then of course he is going to get out of jail, make another record, impregnate more women, and earn millions of dollars. What a worthless human being.
^^^sounds jealous
You know what F*CK all of yall who hate lil wayne. So what he had a gun & drugs, BIG F*CKING DEAL.
there were 11 other people on the bus, it is extremely probably and most of the drugs weren’t waynes… i’d say the marijuana and the (registered)gun were his, but he was the only one charged cuz it was his tour bus. get off your high horse.
Is Lil Wayne going to stay at Rikers Island or stay in Arizona.
Ship his a$$ to Az & then deport him as an illegal alien.
