The rapper, whose legal name is Keith Cozart, was arrested in June 2017 at the Sioux Falls airport when drugs were found in his carry-on bag after he performed at the University of Sioux Falls. He later pleaded not guilty to felony and misdemeanor charges for possessing marijuana, edibles and drug paraphernalia.
The Argus Leader reports that a Second Circuit Court judge last week denied Cozart’s motion to dismiss a charge of possession of a controlled substance, saying the THC-infused edibles he was carrying are not considered marijuana under South Dakota law because they contained no plant material.

why is every picture of every crime on the home page of a black man committing a crime and going to trial? Interesting that they’re the minority but cause so many issues in the nation. I don’t care if he had marijuana but to just think that you’re so special that rules don’t apply to you? smh. this country is losing itself in black culture. so sad.
What is sad is your ignorant statement. You made me vomit a little in my mouth from your stupidity….
