Benzino is facing multiple charges in Georgia after a traffic stop escalated earlier this month.<\/p>\n
Officers with the Arabi Police Department noticed a silver SUV traveling 91 mph in a 70-mph zone, according to local news outlet WALB News 10<\/a>. Behind the wheel was Benzino.<\/p>\n Once officers approached the vehicle, they reported detecting a marijuana odor, which Benzino confirmed, pointing to a bag of weed in the driver\u2019s side door. A second bag of suspected marijuana turned up under a blanket in the back seat, next to his passenger Ruth Lewis.<\/p>\n Lewis told authorities that marijuana was hers. Benzino, meanwhile, told officers he was driving because the vehicle owner, Ashley Bell, had taken medication and needed to sleep.<\/p>\n COMPLEX SHOP:<\/b> Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere.

A records check uncovered that his license was actually suspended for multiple other offenses.<\/p>\n Both Benzino and Lewis were transported to Crisp County Jail and booked on charges that include speeding and drug possession. Benzino was additionally charged with driving without a valid license and Bell was charged with allowing an unlicensed driver to operate her vehicle.<\/p>\n This isn\u2019t Benzino’s first run-in with Georgia law enforcement in recent years. He pleaded guilty in 2019 to felony drug charges<\/a> stemming from a 2017 raid of his metro Atlanta apartment, where officers found THC oil gummies, pills that field-tested as MDMA, and a small amount of marijuana. He was sentenced to two years of probation and a $500 fine, avoiding jail time.<\/p>\n In 2020, he was arrested in Gwinnett County on a criminal damage to property charge after allegedly damaging another man’s truck during an incident in Braselton.<\/p>\n <\/a> Benzino Tells ‘Stupid Idiots’ Entertaining Jim Jones and Nas Debate That ‘Enough Is Enough\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n <\/a> Benzino Learned Coi Leray Was Pregnant \u2018When Everybody Else Found Out\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n <\/a> 50 Cent Jabs Benzino Over Snitch Allegations: ‘Da F*ck Wrong Wit You?’<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Fabio Jackson Goes Viral Again for Reacting to Another MJ Impersonator<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Joseline Hernandez Addresses Amber Rose, Says She’d ‘Want to Kill’ Herself If Husband Left for Cher<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\nRelated News<\/h3>\n
