Method Man Cops Plea Agreement in Marijuana Case

As previously reported on XXLMag.com, Wu-Tang Clan member, Method Man, was arrested on May 17 in New York City for possession of 28 grams of marijuana. According to the New York Post, the rapper’s vehicle was stopped by police for having an expired inspection sticker as he passed through a tollbooth to enter the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel. When Meth rolled down his window, officer Donald Johnston smelled marijuana smoke and noticed some rolled blunts and baggies filled with marijuana in plain site. When questioned by the cop, he admitted to having more marijuana underneath his seat. The Staten Island native was taken into custody, and released on his own recognizance on May 18 after being arraigned in Brooklyn Criminal Court. Yesterday (August 16), the case was finally closed as Mr. Meth reached a plea agreement with the Brooklyn prosecutors. According to the New York Daily News, Method Man will join the Brooklyn district attorney’s office’s Choices and Consequences program as a part of his community service. The program mentors young kids about the dangers of drugs. “He’s never been in trouble with the law before,” Meth’s lawyer, Peter Frankel told the Daily News. “This is a guy who flies in the face of all stereotypes about rappers.”
