New York Finest

Terry Bourgeois, Lil Wayne's assistant, testified that he saw a handgun "occasionally" on Wayne's tour bus and witnessed various people smoking weed, but he could not specifically single out Lil Wayne for possessing said .40-caliber pistol nor say if one was present when the latter was taken into custody. Last month, a police officer told jurors she searched the vehicle after detecting a weed scent as it was parked outside New York's Beacon Theatre following a July 2007 concert. She then said she spied Lil Wayne attempting to stash the firearm (dirty cops).

Stacey Richman, his attorney, is seeking to have the charges tossed on the grounds that New York's Finest falsified the pot claim in order to conduct a search of the vehicle.
