Jeezy Cleared of Weapons Charges Stemming from August Arrest

Jeezy released the following statement regarding the event.

"I pray this had nothing to do with race, but it definitely had nothing to do with evidence. Words cannot express how vindicated I feel with these charges being dismissed today," Jeezy said in a statement. "While my team and I always knew that the allegations and charges were based on zero facts, the rush to judgment by both the media and the police has been extremely disappointing. I'm relieved that the truth has ultimately prevailed and I would like to thank those who have always stood by me, including my family and fans."

Jeezy's legal counsel, Blair Berk, echoed the rapper's sentiment:

"[Jeezy] should not have been arrested and this case should not have been prosecuted. We are pleased it has been dismissed, although frustrated that it took the police and prosecutors months to do the right thing."

According to a Complex source, the charges were trumped up on falsified evidence. The cops apparently smelled marijuana and then seized the weapons, which the security director lawfully owned. According to the source, the weapons were cleared and returned to his security director before seizing other property with a questionable warrant.
