May 4th, 2012 by edsel
Wiz Khalifa has been arrested for the second time in less than two weeks for the exact same crime of possessing marijuana. E! News was informed by authorities in Winston-Salem, N.C., that the 24-year-old Khalifa was ticketed and released following his concert there last night.
Local reports say that officers searched the tour bus of the ’Rolling Papers’ rapper before the show at Joel Coliseum Annex. Their search uncovered an unspecified amount of marijuana.
The Winston-Salem Police Department officially stated that, “These charges stemmed from marijuana use occuring on the tour buses prior to the concert.”
A rep for Wiz Khalifa -real name Cameron Jibril Thomaz- refused to comment on the matter.
Khalifa’s rising career might be in trouble if his love of weed proves greater than his love of performing.
Just recently, Khalifa was collared on pot possession charges at a Nashville hotel. Residents complained of a harsh odor wafting through the halls. Cops subsequently found a stash of marijuana in Khalifa’s room.
Wiz Khalifa is set to attend the hearing for his Nashville case on May 14. The court date for his second case has been scheduled for July 27.

After his recent Coachella performance, rapper Wiz Khalifa has been reportedly busted by the police for trying to hide a bag of marijuana at a Holiday Inn in Nashville, Tennessee.
According to NewsChannel5, Metro Nashville Police responded to a complaint about a strong smell of marijuana emanating from the room of 24-year-old Wiz Khalifa. When police officers arrived at the scene, Wiz Khalifa – real name Cameron Jibril Thomaz – allegedly threw the bag containing the marijuana in hopes of hiding it from police. Cops said they retrieved the item, which turned out to be a small bag of marijuana.
The rapper was hit with a minor citation only. Wiz Khalifa has been very open about his marijuana use and has even shared an item on stage with famed rapper Snoop Dogg.
