Time for a TOT:

I feel like shit cause I was sick all yesterday and today I worked and didn’t feel any better. I had like all this ginger ale and a guy from where work I gave me peppercorn to swallow (which actually helped a bit), and ’nuff water. I dunno but before I posted about how Wayne was getting some charges from Arizona and he could potentially face more jailtime.

Well, on June 30th, an Arizona court sentenced Tunechi to three years of probation which means he will not face any more time behind bars once he gets out on November 4, 2010. The thing is, people are worried this could mean that for up to 3 years Wayne will not be able to smoke weed or drink syrup or leave the country. I don’t know if that’s true but this is only an Arizona probation so I’m thinking maybe that only really applies for when he’s in Arizona… or maybe not.. I’ll let you all know whenever I know.

Here’s an article with more details about it:

Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., was spared time in an Arizona jail under a plea deal stemming from his January 2008 arrest at a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint in the state.

Under the deal, the 27-year-old Grammy winner pleaded guilty to one count of possession of a dangerous drug. Three other drug and weapons charges were dismissed.

Wayne appeared in court via a video hookup from New York, where he has been jailed since March after pleading guilty to attempted criminal possession of a weapon.

James Tilson, Carter’s Arizona attorney, said he was pleased with the court’s action.

“We’re quite glad that we were able to wrap everything up,” Tilson told Reuters. “It’s a favorable plea agreement that will allow Mr. Carter to pursue his career.”

Carter will begin his Arizona probation following his New York sentence, Tilson said.

The rapper’s tour bus, carrying 11 others, was stopped and searched by Border Patrol authorities after they said they were alerted by a drug-sniffing dog. Agents found nearly four ounces of marijuana, an ounce of cocaine, 41 grams of Ecstasy and a .40-caliber pistol registered to Carter.
