R&B singer/songwriter Robin Thicke collected a drug possession charge while in New York yesterday, according to multiple news outlets.
The NY Daily reports that Thicke, 34, was riding shotgun in a Cadillac Escalade near Madison Square Park on Friday when police observed him smoking a joint.
Although there was another person in the vehicle, a police source stated Thicke was the only one arrested.
The singer was charged with possession of marijuana.
“He wasn’t driving,” a police source told the Daily News. “He was sitting in the car. He was arrested and a small amount of marijuana was recovered on him.”
Despite being arrested, another source said the Grammy winning entertainer was amiable throughout the process, adding that Thicke was taking pictures and signing autographs for officers.
The singer was given a desk assignment ticket, which means he’ll be charged at a future arraignment, and then released.
News of the Robin Thicke’s run-in with the law comes shortly after the release of his fifth studio album, Love After War, in December.
His single “Pretty Little Heart” featuring Lil Wayne was released in November. The duo had previously collaborated on “Shooter” and “Shoot Me Down” and from Wayne’s Tha Carter II and Tha Carter III albums, respectively.
