Another rapper finds legal trouble

Cam’ron, one of Roc-A-Fella’s most valuable rappers, was arrested in Manhattan on Monday on drug and weapons charges.

The 26-year-old rapper, who has been riding the wave of his current release, “Come Home With Me,” was on his way to the set of Roc-A-Fella’s latest film, a music-industry spoof titled “Death of a Dynasty,” when his Range Rover was pulled over for a traffic violation. According to a police spokesperson, officers approaching the car said they saw marijuana in full view and searched the vehicle, turning up a .22-caliber handgun.

Cam’ron and a male passenger were charged with criminal possession of a firearm, criminal possession of marijuana and criminal possession of a forged fire department placard.

After spending the night in jail, Cam’ron was arraigned on Tuesday. He was released after pleading not guilty and posting bail.
