Gives a whole new meaning to "Stuffed Animal".
I hope they use him as an example just like they are doing to all the other athletes, musicians and Hollywood types. Maybe if they really start cracking down and putting them in jail, we will finally do away with the "double standard" of justice we have in this country.
Just because you have high priced lawyers and the money to pay for them, should NOT be an excuse for giving them a break. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!

I agree with you 100%....Only problem is, it seems as if he'll have a hard time lawyering up....He's driving an old cluncker....He can't afford a drug runner...he'll receive a court appointed lawyer, unless some of his posse (rappers) decide to come to his rescue....He deserves the Rap!!!!!

AOL considers this guy a "Star"? Never heard of him or his group. Driving around stoned in a 14-year old car in Fort Lee, N.J. doesn't seem like "star behavior" to me.

By AOL standards, I am a star. I was sitting in the background in an Emmy-winning movie. Just hope they don't gut my teddy bear.
