10:05Now PlayingRapper Ty Dolla $ign has been indicted on felony drug charges stemming from a September arrest en route to a show in Atlanta.
The musician, whose real name is Tyrone Griffin Jr., faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted, Chris Hopper of the Fulton County district attorney’s office confirmed to the HHNU INC.
A copy of the indictment obtained by The News shows Griffin has been charged with felony possession of cocaine, felony possession of THC and misdemeanor possession of less than an ounce of weed.
Griffin, 33, was busted Sept. 5 after authorities smelled marijuana coming from the van he was driving to a headlining set at the Cellairis AmphitheatreBody cam footage published by TMZ shows the “Or Nah” rapper admitting he “smoked earlier,” and after drug-sniffing dogs picked up a scent on one of his duffel bags, he was handcuffed and charged with possessing less than an ounce of marijuana, possession of cocaine and obstruction of a law enforcement officer.
Though there were at least five other people in the van, including the DJ Skrillex, Griffin was the only one taken into custody.
“He had no drugs on his person at all,” his attorney Drew Findling told Channel 2 Action News at the time. “Apparently there was a small amount of some drug found in the car, and they let five people walk away. And they let the international superstar go into custody.”
Griffin was later released on bond.
A rep for the rapper told People that Griffin “maintains his innocence,” and that his legal team expects the matter will be resolved soon.
The rapper has released two studio albums on Atlantic Records, and this year teamed up with singer Jeremih for the album “MihTy.”
