Method Man escapes jail time

Method Man escaped jail time in a Brooklyn courtroom by reaching a plea deal on drug charges stemming from a May traffic stop.

Meth, born Clifford Smith, agreed to join the Brooklyn District Attorney's office's Choices and Consequences program as part of his community service. His defense attorney, Peter Frankel, said that he was also confident that his client would escape jail time.

"He's never been in trouble with the law before. This is a guy who flies in the face of all stereotypes about rappers," he said.

Meth was arrested May 17 after toll workers at the Battery Tunnel smelled marijuana coming from his 2005 Lincoln Navigator. After being pulled over, police officers discovered marijuana in the car.
