Drake Arrested In Sweden For Marijuana – Report

Drake Reportedly Arrested In Sweden For Possession Of Marijuana

Drake is currently in the news following rumors swirling around about the Canadian superstar. According to reports reaching us at Dreddsworld, Drake was arrested today in Sweden, for marijuana possession.

According to Scandinavias biggest hip-hop platforms, Drake and his bodyguard have been arrested in Sweden, Stockholm during a private party at the nightclub Berns.

There’s no confirmed reason to why he’s been arrested yet, but witnesses say it’s about illegally possessing cannabis. Recreational marijuana is illegal in Sweden, where strict, even “repressive” drug policies belie the country’s progressive image.

Under Sweden’s Act on Penal Law on Narcotics (1968:64) anyone who “unlawfully transfers narcotics” or “possesses, uses, or otherwise handles narcotics shall, if he has acted wilfully, be sentenced for a narcotic drug offence to imprisonment for not more than three years.” For minor drug offenses though, such as possession of cannabis, the penalty can include fines or up to six months imprisonment.

If the reports are accurate, Drake will be the second big name hip hop star arrested in Sweden.

Back in July 2019, A$AP Rocky was arrested in Stockholm after punching and kicking a man in the street. The rapper – who claimed he acted in self defence – spent a month in jail and was later found guilty of assault, receiving a conditional sentence.

President Donald Trump pulled a few strings, and got A$AP released from prison early.
