The plea is an attempt to wrap up a case that stems from a January 22, 2008, incident in which Wayne’s tour bus was stopped at a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint 78 miles east of Yuma. After boarding the bus, authorities said they found just over an ounce of cocaine, nearly four ounces of marijuana, 41 grams of Ecstasy, miscellaneous drug paraphernalia and a .40-caliber handgun registered to Wayne on his tour bus. Wayne was charged with felony possession of a narcotic drug for sale, possession of dangerous drugs, misconduct involving weapons and possession of drug paraphernalia. He pleaded not guilty to all the felony charges.

Wayne began serving a one-year sentence in New York in March after pleading guilty in October to attempted criminal possession of a weapon. A bench warrant was issued for Wayne on March 17 when the rapper failed to appear in court on the Arizona charges due to his incarceration in New York.

The Sun reported that he could receive up to 36 months of probation on the Yuma charges, beginning after his New York sentence ends. As part of the plea deal, charges of possession of a narcotic drug for sale, misconduct involving weapons and possession of drug paraphernalia are expected to be dismissed when Superior Court Judge Mark Wayne Reeves sentences the rapper on June 30.

The singer has instead reportedly signed a deal with Interscope Records.

In an interview with MTV.com, Lloyd explained, “The problem is that Young Money/Cash Money is exclusive to Universal/ Motown.”

Even though that is where he produced his last two albums, Lloyd, “was not excited,” about working with the label again.

When asked about his relationship with Interscope and working with chairman Jimmy Iovine and producer Polow Da Don, Lloyd said, “I love the way Interscope gets down,” Lloyd said. “I love the way Jimmy gets down. I’ve always had a good working relationship with Polow. Having that creative partner is something I wanted to have, since the very beginning, to have that one creative partner.”

The judge asked Wayne before sentencing if he wanted to make a statement but Lil just shook his head no.

After he was sentenced, Lil Wayne was cuffed, turned to his fans in the courtroom and bowed his head.

Lil Wayne also asked for special medical attention while in the pokey because of his dental problems.

Lil Wayne’s mentor, Birdman, was in court to bid him farewell.

This is the fourth time Wayne was supposed to be sentenced. The first time was postponed because of dental surgery and the second and third times were because of a fire in the courthouse.
