The 19-year-old was original was caught rolling a joint by police on May 8th, while he was in a car along the Upper West Side.
Police accused the rapper of backing up and attempting to flee when he was caught, which added resisting arrest to the list of charges, which included drug possession, reckless endangerment and criminal use of drug paraphernalia.
