Rick Ross Arrested In Atlanta Over Marijuana Possession

Rick Ross was recently arrested for marijuana possession. According to E!, the rapper was charged with marijuana possession in Atlanta.

Atlanta’s local news affiliate reported that Ross had been pulled over for tinted windows that he illegally had on his Bentley. Then, the officer that pulled him over apparently smelled marijuana and found a small amount inside of Rick Ross’ car. It was at that point that Ross was arrested.

The fact that Rick Ross smokes marijuana shouldn’t come as a surprise. Back in 2014 Ross was frank in a Q&A for Rolling Stone about his weed use. Ross sat down to answer readers’ questions.

One reader asked him how he should handle the situation of his father asking him to smoke weed with him. Ross told the 23-year-old, “I think you should reconsider. You get to sit around and play video games and s–t, and your dad actually smokes weed with you and your homeys? Your situation is pretty unique. Take advantage of that bond time, man. I definitely would have smoked with my father if I could have. I say have an open-door policy. Come on in, Dad!”

As the Inquisitr reported, Ross gave additional tips on how to smoke weed, or in his words, the only way to smoke weed. “There’s only one way to smoke weed like a true boss, man. You have to get the highest-grade weed. When I smoke, I’m usually in my backyard. I hear the waterfall from the swimming pool; I hear my two yachts as they bump against the railings and the water splashes against their bodies; I hear a squirrel chirping from centimeters away.”

This isn’t the first time Ross has been arrested for marijuana use either. Back in 2008 he was arrested in Miami, in 2011 he was arrested in Shreveport, and in 2013 he was arrested in Greensboro — all marijuana charges. Back in 2014 Rick Ross ducked out of a court appearance which was from his 2013 arrest for marijuana possession. A warrant was out for his arrest when he failed to make an appearance in court, and he was later arrested in Greensboro following a performance in 2014.

Something tells us this won’t be the last time Rick Ross decides to smoke weed.
