Darius Rucker is sentenced to 1 year probation on drug charges.  He appeared in a Williamson County Tennessee courtroom yesterday where he pled no contest to a charge of simple possession.  A blunt, psychedelic pills, and a THC pen were found in Rucker's possession during a traffic stop in February.  Other charges of simple possession and one count of violating the state's vehicle registration law were dismissed.  The singer waived his right a trial and took a sentence of one year of probation.

On Feb. 19, a Franklin Police Department officer pulled Rucker over for expired tags. Police said they smelled the odor of marijuana coming from the singer’s truck.  When asked, Rucker said he had “smoked weed in the vehicle,” but not that night. A search of the truck found 14 unstamped, grayish and purple pills and a THC pen, which read “88.5% THC,” according to the affidavit. Police said they also found a blunt on Rucker's person. Rucker told police his girlfriend gave him the items and he did not know what they were.
