Big Boi Arrested On Multiple Felony Drug Charges In Miami
August 7, 2011
“Hip-hop artist Antwan “Big Boi” Patton, one half of the legendary hip hop group Outkast, faces three felony counts of possession of a controlled substance & one count of possession of drug paraphernalia according to booking information posted on the Miami-Dade jail website.
Patton was charged with illegal possession of Viagra and Ecstasy pills, MDMA powder and drug paraphernalia with intent to use, the website said. Bonds totalling $16,000 were set, the site said.
His lawyer, in a statement provided to CNN through his publicist, said Patton was re-entering the United States when the contraband was found.
“While Big Boi was traveling with his group and friends, a small amount of contraband was found in the collective luggage,” attorney Daniel Kane said. “I am confident when the entire facts are aired Big Boi will be completely exonerated.”
Patton, 36, is half of the Atlanta-based hip-hop duo Outkast.
OutKast collaborator Killer Mike told CNN last week that Big Boi has reunited with Andre “3000” Benjamin to record again.
