LIL WAYNE APPEALS FOR LESSER DRUG CHARGE

Rapper LIL WAYNE is seeking to have charges of drug possession for sale reduced to a lesser charge in relation to his January (08) arrest in Arizona.

LIL' WAYNE

The star - real name Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. - is facing drugs and weapons charges after a border patrol inspection of his tour bus allegedly revealed marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy and miscellaneous drug paraphernalia as well as a 40-caliber pistol.

He has pleaded not guilty to felony charges of possession of a narcotic drug for sale, possession of dangerous drugs, misconduct involving weapons and one count of possession of drug paraphernalia.

And now Carter's attorneys are contesting the amount of cocaine found on the tour bus, claiming the hip-hop star had less than eight grams (0.28 ounces) of the illegal substance on him, as opposed to the 29 grams (1.02 ounces) stated in the police report.

Carter was previously arrested on drugs charges in Atlanta, Georgia in 2006.

He has also pleaded not guilty to gun charges in New York relating to an incident when police allegedly discovered a handgun stashed in Carter's tour bus following a performance with Ja Rule last July (07).
