Below is an update from Billboard regarding Lil Wayne’s legal issues in Arizona. This is good news, seeing as how Wayne may not face any time behind bars!
Last week, rapper Lil Wayne pled guilty to a drug possession charge to a Yuma County, Arizona court, changing his original “not guilty” plea. As a result of his new plea, Lil Wayne, who appeared via video feed from his jail cell in New York, may not have to serve a prison sentence for drug and weapons charges in Arizona, according to the YumaSun.com.
The charge is the result of an incident on Jan. 22, 2008, when Lil Wayne was arrested after Drug Enforcement Administration officers found cocaine, Ecstasy and a handgun on his tour bus at a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint near Yuma. As part of the plea agreement, Yuma County Superior Court Judge Mark Wayne Reeves dismissed charges of possession of a narcotic drug for sale, weapons misconduct and possession of drug paraphernalia, although Lil Wayne could still face a 36-month probation term.
Currently, Lil Wayne is serving an eight-month jail sentence in New York for attempted criminal possession of a weapon, for which he will be released in October. The Yuma County sentencing will take place on June 30.

Lock this dude up and throw away the key. All of you act like he is a role model or someone of importance. He makes great music for some but he broke the law. Lock him up and teach him a lesson he will never forget. Don’t think for a second that if it happened to you that he would care at all. People do something with your own lives instead of waiting for someone to come out of jail so you could throw more money at him.
