Cocaine and marijuana charges could reportedly lead to up to 15 years in prison
Ty Dolla Sign has been indicted on felony charges of cocaine and marijuana possession, TMZ reports and documents viewed by Pitchfork confirm. The charges could lead to a prison sentence of up to 15 years, according to TMZ. The indictment includes two felony charges—possession of a Schedule 1 controlled substance and possession of cocaine—and one misdemeanor charge, for possession of less than one ounce of marijuana.
Ty Dolla was arrested and detained in September in Atlanta after officers searched his vehicle, claiming they smelled marijuana. Skrillex and several others were also in the vehicle, but police pressed charges only against Ty, TMZ reports. Pitchfork has reached out to Ty’s reps for comment.
