Wiz Khalifa, real name Cameron Thomaz, was arrested Monday night on drug possession charges after performing at East Carolina University.
"He was on his way with his band to his bus parked outside, and they stopped him because of a strong odor of marijuana emanating from the bus and the backstage area of the auditorium," Durham said.
The police may have been tipped off by Wiz’s Twitter post before the concert: “Smoke outs in Greenville NC tonite. Fall thru wit ur finest plant life.
In the Wiz Khalifa arrest video below, you can see the students at ECU booing the police and yelling:
“Free Wiz!”
“Smoke weed everyday!”
“You animals!”
Khalifa was charged with three drug counts: felony count of trafficking in marijuana, a felony count of maintaining a dwelling/vehicle/place for sale or storage of marijuana and one misdemeanor charge of possession of drug paraphernalia.
