UPDATE: Jadakiss says he was on the road, denies any involvement.
6 pounds of marijuana, 5 grams of heroin and a large sum of money was found in Jadakiss' apartment in Yonkers, New York, according to New York's Lower Hudson Journal. However, Jada is not being seen as a criminal suspect nor is he currently wanted by the police, according to Lt. Joseph Monaco.
Two men, Gabriel Henriquez and Alberto Lajara were arrested in relation to this case. Henriquez has apparently been staying in one room in the apartment leased to Jadakiss. He and Lajara were arrested after officers drove by a car emitting a strong scent of marijuana from within. When officers called in for backup, Henriquez attempted to run away but was caught and arrested soon after the short chase and struggle.
Once the officers learned that he was staying in Jadakiss' apartment, the police got a warrant and searched the home, finding the drugs and about $42,000 in cash.
Henriquez is being charged with third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and second-degree assault as well as second-degree criminal possession of marijuana. Aside from those felonies, he is also being charged with obstruction of governmental administration, which is a misdemeanor. Lajara is being charged with a violation in disorderly conduct and fifth-degree criminal possession of marijuana, which is a misdemeanor.
UPDATE: Through representatives, Jadakiss released the following statement the evening of August 26th. "What happened on Saturday was an unfortunate situation but one in which I have no involvement in. Since the release of my recent album The Last Kiss, I have been on the road touring and promoting my project. I am focused on my performance schedule and career."
