According to TMZ, Baby Smoove, whose real name is Jaelin Deanta Parker, was arrested in December after he was pulled over in Miami.
The responding Miami Police Department officer claimed that when he approached the rapper’s vehicle, he “observed a cloud of smoke” and a “strong odor of marijuana.”
The law enforcement officer then said he saw a black Taurus PT809 gun under the driver’s seat after all of its occupants exited.
