Lil Wayne to Enter Plea Deal on Drug and Weapons Charges

Lil Wayne, entered a plea of guilty to one count of possession of a dangerous drug in an effort to avoid jail time. The 27 year old grammy winning rapper is scheduled to be sentenced on June 30th and could receive 36 months of probation. This latest legal entanglement stemmed from a January 2008 incident where his tour bus was stopped at a US border patrol checkpoint in AZ, where authorities say they found cocaine, ecstasy and a handgun on the bus. He is currently serving an 8-month jail sentence after pleading guilty to attempted criminal possession of a weapon from another incident.

Lil Wayne jail sentence postponed again due to court fire

Yes folks, it happened again…Lil Wayne’s court date was postponed again, this time due to a fire that broke out at the court complex, which injured eight people. This is the second time the court date was postponed, the first was for Lil Wayne to have emergency dental surgery.

Lil Wayne is said to be disappointed as he was mentally gearing up for the sentencing date. His lawyer told press, “Once you make up your mind to do something, you want to do it.”

The sentencing date could come as early as today, if the courthouse complex is deemed safe.

Lil Wayne to begin his jail term today

Today marks the day that Lil Wayne will stop pressing for emergency dental work (it is reported he had 8 root canals in one day) and accept that he will be sentenced to one year in jail for gun possession. Of course, he will not likely spend one year in jail but is really looking at about 7 months if he maintains good behavior.

According to a prison guard, “He’ll be housed with inmates who are classified in his category, and he’ll be able to be a regular inmate, “He’ll be able to watch television, go into the day room and congregate with people of his classification.”

Lil Wayne’s Jail Sentence Postponed - Over Dentist Appt

Lil Wayne, real name Dwayne Carter, pleaded guilty to charges arising from a 2007 arrest when a gun was found on his tour bus after a concert in Manhattan.

His sentencing has been rescheduled for March 2nd, so he’ll have time to get some dental surgery before going to jail. Odds are it won’t be that long of a sentence anyways.

Though that may be the case, at the end of March, he’ll be back in court, this time in Arizona, this appearance is from 2008, when police again found cocaine, ecstasy, and a gun on his tour bus.

Lil Wayne did post a video just before his court appearance asking fans not to forget about him…probably because he’s gonna need that fan money when he gets out.

Lil Wayne Expected to get 1-year in Jail

US rapper Lil Wayne faces a year in prison after pleading guilty to gun charges arising from a 2007 arrest.

The 27-year-old admitted attempted criminal possession of a weapon in a plea deal and will be sentenced at New York State Supreme Court in February.

The rapper - born Dwayne Michael Carter Jr - was arrested in July 2007 when a gun was found on his tour bus after a hip-hop concert in Manhattan.

His sixth album Tha Carter III was the best-selling album in the US in 2008.

The record won best rap album at the Grammy awards in February, where Lil Wayne picked up three other prizes.

Though, most people think his career will actually be enhanced, since the jail time will improve his street cred and he has recorded enough material to continue to release albums in his absence.
