Beanie Seigel is sinking himself deep. The former rocafella rapper, was to be sentenced to jail for up to three years on September 12th from a prior charge of tax evasion which the rapper plead guilty to.
Well, Beanie got himself in trouble YET AGAIN. Reportedly officers pulled over the rapper [who was playing passenger in a friend’s vehicle] and found drugs, a lump sum of money, and a gun in the vehicle. The two were arrested and Beanie Seigel could face a longer sentence given his prior charge.
According the Philly Inquirer:
Around 3:15 a.m. – just hours after the release of his sixth album, This Time – Sigel, 38, and a friend were arrested during a routine traffic stop by state troopers on I-95 near Exit 9 in Tinicum Township. The tan Ford Fusion driven by Gerald Lamont Andrews, 40, was following too close to a tractor-trailer and had swerved over the divider line three times, the officers said.
Sigel, whose real name is Dwight Grant, was asleep on the passenger side. Andrews did not have the car’s registration and insurance card, or a valid driver’s license. During a pat-down, several bottles of prescription pills, a small amount of marijuana, and a fake driver’s license were found in his pockets, according to court documents.
Troopers then patted down Sigel and allegedly found an unlabeled bottle of codeine syrup and about $4,500 cash in his pocket. In Sigel’s cigarette pack were various pills wrapped in a plastic bag, authorities said. A fully loaded .38-caliber Smith & Wesson handgun was discovered in the console above the front stereo, according to court papers. Both men are convicted felons barred from having guns.
