Fabolous Tour Bus....Let me get on!

Rapper Fabolous may have been mentioned in a drug bust of over 500 pounds of marijuana which was found on a tour bus traveling through Arkansas on it's way to Boston from Phoenix where the NBA All-Star Weekend took place. It seems that Arkansas State Police initiated a traffic stop on the tour bus as it was passing through the heavily monitored Interstate 40 near Russellville. According to Michael Ford of Arkansas Courier, there were no rappers on board the bus, however the two drivers were arrested. Edward Thimas, 52, of Douglasville, GA., and Robert Morris, 44, of Augusta, GA both began to offer information as the police interrogated them claiming that none of the items in the locked compartment on the bus containing the marijuana, belonged to them, but actually to the people that they were transporting. However, the two were still arrested after they gave the conflicting stories to the police. Thimas told police they were returning from the game in Phoenix after escorting rapper Fabolous (spelled Fabulous in the report by The Arkansas Courier). He added that the two were headed to Boston to pick up another rapper whose name he couldn't recall. On the other hand, Morris' side of the story according to police reports, was that the two had taken three rappers from Atlanta to Phoenix and were going to Boston to meet them as the rappers had flown ahead. Later Thimas attempted to match his story with Morris', but the police at this time were already suspicious of the two. Officers proceeded to search their bus with permission where they found the pounds of marijuana which the drivers, as previously mentioned stating the the contents wasn't theirs, but the "other guys' merchandise." The two drivers had over $4,000 in cash combined in their possession as well as an additional $2400 in a black bag. In an attempt to cooperate with the police further, Morris additionally stated he'd help in the investigation because it was the rappers not them who put the bags and boxes on the bus. The two were arrested on drug possession and other charges and on Wednesday received a bond of $200,000 for Morris and a bond of $75,000 for Thimas. At the time of their arrest the two drivers had over $4,000 in cash combined in their possession as well as an additional $2400 in a black bag. The time and location of the arrest both hint that it may have been rapper Fabolous on the tour bus as the rapper was reportedly in Phoenix on that mentioned weekend. According to the rapper's Myspace page, Fabolous was scheduled to perform at The W Hotel on February 13th, and Club Phoenix on February 15th. Meanwhile, no official statement has been released from Fabolous' camp about this incident.

A truck heading to Massachusetts that was stopped by police in Arizona contained 1,400 pounds of marijuana, a haul worth $2.1 million on the street, authorities said.

The truck was stopped on Interstate 17 at about 4:30 a.m. Friday, the Arizona Department of Public Safety said.

Thomas Belliveau, 49, of Bozrah, Conn. was arrested after police pulled the rig over for an equipment violation and allegedly found the marijuana. He was charged with transportation of marijuana for sale.

The truck was headed from Rancho Cucamonga, Calif. to Westborough, according to Bart Graves, spokesman for the Arizona DPS. He did not release any more specifics. A Massachusetts State Police spokesman said he wasn't aware of the incident.

The vehicle, owned by M & G Enterprises in East Hartford, Conn., contained frozen food products along with boxes loaded with marijuana.
A message left at the M & G offices this afternoon wasn't immediately returned

I spotted this over at thisis50.com

Arkansas police revealed today (February 20) that they seized nearly 500 pounds of marijuana from a tour bus this week and the two Georgia men in the vehicle implicated Fabolous.

According to KHBS, police claim that they initially stopped the bus for driving on the shoulder of a highway on Tuesday night (February 17) and when they searched the bus they found 496 pounds of marijuana in a duffle bag.

Police also revealed that they found $6,452 in cash on the men.

The two men, who were identified as 52-year-old Edward Thimas and 44-year-old Robert Morris, told the police that they were returning from the NBA All-Star Weekend in Phoenix and they had been escorting Fabolous who was not on the bus during their arrest.

The men claimed that Fabolous and another rapper who was not identified loaded the marijuana on the bus and told them to contact them when they got to Boston.

It is unclear whether Fabolous has been questioned. Police said they are keeping the two men in custody because the stories they gave during interrogation were conflicting.
