BigXthaPlug Arrested in Texas
On Wednesday (Feb. 26), just after midnight, the Texas rapper was booked into the Arlington City Jail and charged with possession of less than two ounces of marijuana, XXL has confirmed through police records. According to TMZ, police pulled over the rapper and a passenger for expired tags and smelled marijuana coming from the car. Upon searching the vehicle, officers discovered weed and a firearm. BigX’s passenger, Cleodist Landum, who appears to be related to the rapper, was taken into custody on an outstanding warrant in Bexar County, Texas, weed charges and unlawful carrying of a weapon.
It is unclear if BigX has been released on bond. XXL has reached out to the Arlington Police Department and BigXthaPlug’s team for comment.
