The rap industry superstar Dwayne Carter, known as Llil Wayne,” appeared before a Yuma County, Arizona judge for a pre-trial hearing for his drug possession and weapons charges on June 23.
In January of 2008, Carter was arrested on Interstate 8 at a U.S. border patrol checkpoint. Upon searching his tour bus, authorities said they found cocaine, the party drug Ecstasy and a handgun, according to the Associated Press.
The rapper’s attorney, James Tilson, told the Yuma County Superior Court judge that he requested records from the U.S. Border Patrol several months ago, and they have yet to hand them over.
Tilson said the border officials told the Yuma County Attorney’s Office they have no intention to relinquish the training record of the drug-sniffing dog that was used in the search as Tilson requested.
“If the dog is not reliable, then that puts the entire probable cause for the stop into question,” he said.
Carter’s attorney also plans to reiterate his previous petition to attain any video footage recorded by border surveillance when the incident occurred.
The rapper faces one count of weapons misconduct, one count of possession of dangerous drugs and a count of possession of drug paraphernalia. He previously pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Carter is scheduled for another court appearance on August 11.
