MACON, Ga. - A popular rapper was arrested after police said they found drugs in his vehicle during a routine traffic stop.
James E. Maxwell, 30, known in the hip-hop scene as Sonny Spoon, was stopped Saturday afternoon for a seat-belt violation, said Macon police spokeswoman Melanie Hofmann.
Hofmann said Maxwell consented to a search of his 1985 Suburban, which led police to illegal drugs with a street value of about $6,600. He was charged with felony possession of marijuana, possession with intent to distribute ecstasy and trafficking in cocaine, she said.
Maxwell, head of a Macon record company, is heard throughout the Southeast and on popular mix albums.
