Wu-Tang Clan rapper, Method Man, who was arrested on May 17, 2007 in New York for the possession of marijunana, has made a plea deal with the cops.

The rapper was stopped by police in his Lincoln Navigator for having an expired inspection sticker while passing through a toolbooth at the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel. Reportedly when the rapper rolled down his window, a strong smell of marijuana and smoke flowed through and the illegal substance could be seen in plain view on the seat of the car.

The rapper soon admitted to the officers that he had more underneath his seat, which lead to his arrest. Method Man was released on his own recognizance on May 18th, after being arraigned in a Brooklyn Criminal Court. (more…)
