Philadelphia rapper Benie Sigel has found himself amidst legal trouble once again after getting arrested on a marijuana possession charge early Sunday morning while on his way to a performance at a local tavern.
Sigel, real name Dwight Grant, was arrested along with two others during a 12:44 a.m. traffic stop at the intersection of Fort Dix and Main streets, in Philadelphia.
A quick search of their personnel turned up the drug. Sigel was found in possesion of just under 50 grams of weed.
The driver, Karl S. Dargan, 24, of Philadelphia, and another passenger, Justin S. Gaines, 25, of Westville, Gloucester County, also were charged with marijuana possession of under 50 grams.
Sigel was on his way to perform at a private function at Kelly’s Bar on Rexall Avenue, according to a bar employee.
The performance was canceled as a result of his arrest.
