Afroman has run into some legal trouble while at the Canadian border, and it should come as no surprise that the issue involves Cannabis.
The “Because I Got High” rapper ran into a bit of a snafu when he was trying to cross back over to the United States on Tuesday (June 20), with U.S. Border Patrol sources telling TMZ that Afroman and his crew were detained while trying to cross over the St. Lawrence River in upstate New York.
When they entered the inspection zone, law enforcement officials discovered $10,000 worth of cash and some marijuana lotion and gummies that Afroman told TMZ he forgot to hide. The rapper was held for 5 hours at the border and was fined $500 for the lotion, along with his DJ who was fined $500 for the gummies.
When asked for more details, Border Patrol spokesperson Mike Niezgoda said: “As a matter of policy under the Privacy Act of 1974, we are unable to discuss a traveler’s inspection.”
The latest legal issue comes after a number of Ohio sheriff deputies announced in March they’d be suing Afroman for allegedly profiting off the raid they conducted on his home last summer.
The Adams County Sheriff’s Department ran up on Afroman’s home last August, where officers searched for illegal narcotics but failed to find anything.
