Jadakiss has been indicted on gun and drug charges.Jason Phillips aka Jadakiss entered a not guilty plea today to charges of possessing a loaded handgun and marijuana.
He was arrested Oct. 7 with three other men in Yonkers. Police said they stopped his car after smelling marijuana and then found the gun.
"I have yet to see or hear of any evidence connecting my client to possessing this weapon," said the rapper's lawyer, Clement Patti. He said Jadakiss was in the back seat and didn't know there was a gun in the front console.
If convicted on the gun charge in Westchester County Court, the maximum sentence he would face is 16 months to seven years in prison. The law was toughened in November to provide a minimum sentence of 3 1/2 years.
Two of the other arrested men face similar charges. No indictment of the fourth was annouced.
