The 39-year-old
Ross, whose legal name is William Leonard Roberts II, was pulled
over at around 4 p.m. on Highway 279 in Georgia for a window
tint violation, according to an official with the sheriff's
office, who declined to be named.
Deputies went to his car, smelled marijuana, and after searching
the vehicle placed Ross under arrest for possession, the officer
said. As of 11 p.m., he was still in Fayette County Jail, the
official said.
Fayette County is part of the Atlanta metropolitan area.
A representative for Ross was not immediately available for
comment. Ross has previously been arrested for marijuana
possession, according to media reports.
