Rapper Lil Wayne was charged Tuesday with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, a federal offence that carries a potential sentence of up to 10 years in prison. An initial court date on the weapons charge is set for Dec. 11 in Miami federal court. The charge stems from a weapons conviction against Carter in New York over a decade ago, for which he was sentenced to eight months in prison. Convicted felons are barred from owning firearms under U.S. federal law. Posted By Persist |
