Wiz Khalifa's felony marijuana charges have gone up in smoke.
On Wednesday, Pitt County (North Carolina) District Attorney Clark Everett dropped a felony drug trafficking count against the rapper, who was arrested on November 8 following a show on the campus of East Carolina University after police found marijuana on his tour bus. Khalifa and nine other men were subsequently charged with trafficking, maintaining a vehicle for sale or storage of marijuana and a misdemeanor offense of possession of drug paraphernalia.
But according to Everett, the trafficking charge was in error, because the amount of marijuana seized on the bus — slightly more than 2 ounces, according to Greenville, North Carolina's The Daily Reflector — did not exceed the 10-pound threshold required to make the count stick.
Everett told the Reflector that all additional charges against Khalifa and six others with him were dismissed when three of the men admitted the marijuana was theirs and pleaded guilty to misdemeanor possession during an August 11 hearing. Each of the three paid a $1,000 fine and court costs.
In the days following his arrest, Keith Stroup, legal counsel for the marijuana-advocacy group NORML, predicted to MTV News that it was likely Khalifa's attorney would arrange for such a plea deal, in which the rapper, or one of the other men arrested, would agree to possession of marijuana for personal use.
At the time of his arrest, Khalifa paid a substantial fee to a bail bondsman to cover a $300,000 bond for himself and the nine other men arrested so they could leave immediately, a tab Everett said was also an error, given the actual nature of the charges.
"The magistrate or someone at that office must have misread the statute. We discovered the error maybe two hours after [Khalifa] paid the bondsman's premium and left," he told the Reflector. "Because of that, it was a high price he paid for bringing the drug onto campus. Had he remained to discover the error, he would not have been bonded so high. Probably $1,000."
A spokesperson for the Pitt County District Attorney's Office did not respond to MTV News' request for comment on the matter by press time.

Cobra Starship joined forces with Fueled by Ramen in 2006, with the release of their debut disc While the City Sleeps, We Rule the Streets. Since then, they've fashioned a rather fascinating career as FBR outsiders, the kind of band not averse to the occasional beard-heavy skit or "Gossip Girl"-enhanced hit.
But on Friday, they'll make nice with their FBR mates as part of the label's 15th anniversary showcase at New York's Terminal 5 (tonight's show, featuring Paramore, will stream live on MTV.com beginning at 6:30 p.m. ET). But that doesn't mean they still don't feel a little weird about doing it.
"I know nothing else to compare it to, but, yeah, it doesn't feel like the way I thought a label would be like," guitarist Ryland Blackinton told MTV News. "It's like an alt-family; like, we have lesbian moms ... I just watched 'The Birdcage,' and it's like that. We're like the straight son in 'The Birdcage.' "
Though they may joke about feeling out of place on Fueled by Ramen, the Cobras are dead serious when they say there's no other label they'd rather call home. After all, FBR has supported them every step of their careers, and, in a lot of ways, grown with them — from "Snakes on a Plane" to their just-released Night Shades album and current hit "You Make Me Feel ... ."
Of course, as is the case with everything Cobra Starship, the term "dead serious" is relative.
"My image of a label was, like, big corporate guys in suits, cold," bassist Alex Suarez laughed. "Like the Death Star, but with offices."
"It's not like that though," Blackinton added. "It's more like down on Tatooine, by Jabba's lair. A little homier, some peat on the fireplace. You know, comfortable. It's nice."
Help MTV celebrate Fueled by Ramen's 15th anniversary tonight as we present a live party featuring some of your favorite FBR acts, including Paramore. Check out MTV.com at 6:30 p.m. ET to catch all the action!
