Today, NLE Choppa appeared in court in Broward County for his drug and gun case. Back in 2021, the rapper and other masked men were caught hopping a fence at a tow yard, and later pulled over by police. Officers found two loaded guns in the vehicle, as well as a backpack containing marijuana and Xanax. He was arrested for burglary, drug possession, and carrying a concealed firearm. At the time, he admitted the backpack was his, but claimed he wasn't aware of the guns in the vehicle.
The 21-year-old pleaded no contest to two misdemeanor charges and received a sentence of one year of probation. Per their plea deal, prosecutors dropped his gun charge, and reduced the others to misdemeanors. In addition to probation, NLE Choppa will have to complete 40 hours of community service and a firearm safety class. His probation won't stop him from working, however, as he's free to travel both domestically and internationally.
NLE Choppa Sentenced To A Year Of Probation
Shortly after his 2021 arrest, NLE Choppa claimed that police planted the drugs on him. He suggested that he was targeted because he stands for “something deep.” He vented on Twitter, insisting he was set up. “During this arrest, I was setup,” he wrote. “Substances were planted on me that I don’t consume/use/own, my name was lied upon, and I was even mistreated in the process … This case will be beat and I will walk a free man, remember it’s innocent until proven guilty not guilty until proven innocent.”
