Method Man arrested on marijuana possession charge

Wu-Tang Clan rapper Method Man, aka Clifford Smith, was arrested in New York on Thursday after police types found 30 grams of marijuana in his vehicle. The rapper's car was pulled over because his licence plates had expired, but officers could smell the cannabis when he rolled down his window, and reports suggest a bag containing the drug was immediately visible, while Smith admitted to having more under his seat. He was subsequently charged with unlawful possession of marijuana, criminal possession of marijuana, operating a motor vehicle under the influence and driving an uninspected motor vehicle. He was released Friday, pending a court hearing.
