Juvenile was arrested on misdemeanor drug charges yesterday (February 25) in his New Orleans hometown, reports The Times-Picayune.

Authorities say that the former Hot Boy was busted in a home studio on 208 Livingston Ave in the St. Bernard Parish. Apparently someone smelled marijuana coming from the residence and called the local sheriff’s drug line. Upon visiting the house, a deputy with the Special Investigations Unit also smelled the drug when the door was opened and got a warrant to search the house.

Juvie wasn’t the only person in the house that was busted, his producer Leroy Edwards was also put in cuffs.

Edwards and the N.O. MC were booked on misdemeanor possession charges and are expected to be released on bond. —Elan Mancini
