They found a crocus sack filled with marijuana under his bed, and as a result, he was arrested and charged with drug trafficking. He was arraigned today before Senior Magistrate Sharon Frazer today, where he pleaded not guilty.

He said that he was mentally challenged, and that the drugs don't belong to him.

He was granted bail of $8,000, which he could not meet. As a result, he was taken to prison, and he is to return to court on January 3, 2013, his next court date.
