BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - A Tuscaloosa man known as rapper G. Weedy, has been sentenced to five and a half years in federal prison after pleading guilty to drugs and firearm charges.
In September 2020, 20-year-old Montrell Le’Robert White entered a blind guilty plea to charges of possession with intent to distribute marijuana and possession of firearms in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime.
On October 9, 2019 agents with TPD’s Repeat Offender Unit, U.S. Marshals Office, ATF and the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff’s Office attempted to serve White a warrant at his home for failing to appear in court. At the home, officers recovered 112 grams of marijuana, digital scales, multiple loaded firearms, magazines and ammunition.
