Youngbloodz J-Bo and Sean Paul have been arrested and charged with drugs and weapons offenses after their tour bus was stopped en route to a concert at the end of last week. The duo, real names Jeffrey Ray Grigsby and Sean Paul Joseph, are accused, along with their entourage of twelve people, of possession of Marijuana with the intent to distribute, plus possession of firearms.
Coweta County sheriff's deputy Clinton Reynolds explained to reporters that he pulled the pair's tour bus over because it had an expired Florida tag but then noticed the smell of burning dope. Reynolds confirmed that a subsequent search of the vehicle revealed around 225 grammes of the drug, divided into 11 separate bags, as well as two weapons.
Tice Merriweather for Youngbloodz' record label, Jive, said he believes that the duo will be cleared of the charges, releasing a statement in which he states: "The guys have never had any trouble with the law."
