Rapper Ja Rule could face over 3 years in prison over weapons charges, after a .40 caliber handgun was discovered alongside a small amount of Marijuana in one of his luxury vehicles in Manhattan in 2007.
According to the New York Post Ja Rule lost his bid to have the case tossed in Manhattan Supreme Court on Wednesday (20th Jan 2010) morning. Judge Richard Carruthers denied the motion to have the case dismissed.
At the time of the incident police had arrested Lil Wayne 1 hour prior to Ja Rules arrest, when police are alleged to have spotted Wayne and an acquaintance smoking Marijuana outside his tour bus, upon searching the bus police also retrieved a .40 caliber handgun. Upon taking a plea Wayne is due to begin an 8 month sentence next month.
Ja Rule real name Jeffrey Atkins is due to attend court on March 3rd this year and if convicted of the offence could face up to 3 1/2 years in prison.
