"I caught a charge"Rapper Rick Ross arrested in metro Atlanta

[jeh]

FAYETTE COUNTY, Ga. —


Rapper Rick Ross was arrested in Fayette County on a misdemeanor marijuana charge.

According to the Fayette County sheriff's officials, the rapper, whose real name is William Roberts, was in his Bentley on Highway 279 Wednesday, when a deputy stopped him for a window tint violation.

The deputy said when Ross opened up the window, he smelled marijuana and later found five rolled marijuana cigarettes.

That is when deputies said Ross was arrested.

"Will you have to make any accommodations for him in the jail because of his celebrity?,” Channel 2’s Tom Jones asked Fayette County Sheriff Barry Babb.

Babb said: “Well, we look at everybody on a case-by-case basis. We classify anybody in the jail on how we need to handle it, so we look at that as well."

Ross bonded out of jail overnight.


Ross was previously arrested in North Carolina in June 2014 after failing to appear at a hearing related to a previous misdemeanor marijuana charge. He was taken into custody after performing at Greensboro's SuperJam Music Festival and later released on a $1,000 bail.

But when the officer opened the door he smelled marijuana. Upon searching the vehicle, he found five spliffs.

The rapper was then sent to Fayette County Jail to be processed on a drug misdemeanor as well as the traffic violation.

According to the arresting officer, the Hood Billionaire was 'very cooperative' and gave no trouble at all.

The Hustlin hitmaker, whose real name is William Leonard Roberts II, took his name from convicted drug trafficker 'Freeway' Rick Ross

Ross, who's real name is William Leonard Roberts II, was unlikely to cause hassle for law enforcement officers, seeing as he used to be one.

From December 1995 to June 1995 he worked as a correctional officer in Florida, a fact he tried to deny when it first emerged later in his career.

His attempts to hide his former ties to the law are unsurprising, considering he named his stage persona after convicted California drug trafficker 'Freeway' Rick Ross, who has tried to sue the rapper in the past.

This latest arrest isn't the first drugs charge for the Maybach Music Group founder either; he was busted for possession of weed in Miami in 2008, and in Louisiana in 2011; and arrested again in North Carolina in 2014 for failing to appear in court over the previous charge.

In 2011 it was once again the scent that gave him away, when police reportedly smelled pot from his room at the Shreveport Hilton - they eventually found one gram of the drug.


The Hustlin star was born in Mississippi and raised in Florida, but lives in Fayette.

Last year he spent $5.8million on a 109-room mansion that belonged to boxer Evander Holyfield until it was foreclosed.
