(Gossip-Grind News) Nipsey Hussle Arrested For Codeine Possession:
Los Angeles based recording artist Nipsey Hussle was arrested Wednesday night in Burbank, Ca. The rapper was pulled over shortly after leaving a recording studio for driving without license plates.
Police stopped the 29-year-old rapper, born Ermias Asghedom, on suspicion of traffic violations at 11:20 p.m., at Ford Street and Magnolia Boulevard. Officers discovered he had an outstanding warrant for driving with a suspended license, Burbank police Lt. Adam Cornils said.
With his consent, officers searched his car. They found a bottle of codeine without a prescription label as well as a soft drink and a cup of ice — ingredients used to make a highly potent drink, Cornils said.
“People who abuse codeine to get high commonly acquire it either from friends/associates or through fraudulent prescriptions, and remove the prescription label to mask where it came from and who it was prescribed to,” Cornils said.
The codeine, he said, is mixed with soft drinks.
Asghedom was unable to produce a prescription, Cornils said. He was arrested on suspicion of possessing a controlled substance, as well as for the outstanding warrant.
Asghedom was released after posting $1,000 bail. (LA Times)
