Lil' Wayne might have a federal sandwich awaiting him. |
The 37-year old rapper known as Lil' Wayne is facing a possible federal sandwich after he was detained in Miami by the feds after landing.
Wheezy admitted to owning a gold-plated firearm found in his luggage when his private jet landed.
"There is a gold-plated Glock firearm inside his book bag...which was given to him as a Father's Day gift," the warrant said.
The weapon is a gold Remington 911.
The warrant shows that the entertainer had a pistol, shells, suspected cocaine, marijuana, ecstasy, heroin, pain killers, $25,983 in cash and prescription-strength cough syrup (used in the Purple Drank).
The investigation into the entertainer started when an anonymous tip about possible drugs and firearms on a Gulfstream G-V and obtained a federal search warrant later that day.
The warrant approved by a federal judge said it found probable cause because of the entertainer's previous encounters with the law. He is also a former federal intern. He spent a year in Rikers Island.
Lil' Wayne was on a private plane when a federal undercover tipped off a possible drug ring in flight. |
The plane's pilot allowed authorities onto the aircraft, where "it was readily apparent" that Lil' Wayne was under the influence of illegal narcotics based on his delayed speech and partially closed eyes.
The feds said that two police dogs search the plane and found heavy traces of marijuana.
Lil' Wayne wasn't charged in the case as of yet. He was free to go to his home in Miami.
The charges are serious if they indict him. For the simple fact he has a firearm and he's under disability is automatic 15 years in the state of Florida and 10 for a federal case. Also the heroin and ecstasy in the plane could net him at least five years. The trafficking marijuana charge is at least 10 years.
If the courts decided to indict, all that could put the entertainer in a bind.
The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Almost three years ago, Lil' Wayne was in a dispute with Cash Money Records. The label delayed the release of "The Carter V" and it prompt the entertainer to sue the label to be released from the contract. He retains the rights to Cash Money's subsidiary label, Young Money Entertainment.
