In a New York court room, Judge Solomon decided to reopen the hearing on whether or not to include the .40 caliber handgun in the case upon prosecutor Joan Illuzi-Orbon’s request. In light of learning of an undisclosed conversation between the arresting officer and Lil Wayne, the prosecutor asked the judge to re-evaluate.
Officer Illuzi-Orbon busted Lil Wayne after she boarded his tour bus allegedly smelling marijuana. She claims to have witnessed Wayne trying to hide a gun as she approached him in the vehicle.
Wayne’s lawyer Stacey Richman believes the officer falsely claimed that she smelled smoke in order to illegally get into the vehicle. Lil Wayne had just finished a performance at the Beacon Theatre.
Wayne, who pled not guilty and is free on $70,000 bail, is scheduled to return to court on May 20.
