Rapper Ty Dolla Sign had a great year on the charts, but an unfortunate incident dating back to September has left him with some very serious charges. This weekend, it was announced that the hip-hop star has been indicted by a grand jury on charges that include felony drug possession.
Ty Dolla Sign was previously arrested in Fulton County, Georgia back in September for drug possession. TMZ also reported that Skrillex was in the vehicle with Ty Dolla Sign and his crew, but Ty Dolla Sign was the only person to be arrested after the drugs were found in his bag.
He now faces three counts of drug possession charges including felony possession of cocaine, felony possession of THC and misdemeanor possession of less than 1 ounce of weed, according to TMZ.
If convicted of the charges, Ty Dolla Sign would be locked up for more than a decade with a maximum penalty of up to 15 years in prison.
