Frank Ocean Busted for Marijuana Possession, Driver's License Confiscated
Frank Ocean’s new year didn’t exactly get off to a great start. The Grammy-nominated singer was cited for marijuana possession on New Year’s Eve and had his driver’s license confiscated.
According to TMZ, Ocean was pulled over in Mono County, Calif., for going about 90 mph in a 65 zone. When police approached his black BMW, they smelled marijuana coming from his car.
Law enforcement officials searched the “Thinkin Bout You” singer and found a small bag of weed on him. He was reportedly cited for marijuana possession, driving on a suspended license, and tinted windows.
He was immediately released, but had to be driven home by his passenger due to the confiscated license.
