Cash Money Records founder, Bryan ‘Birdman’ Williams, was released on bond earlier today (November 28) after being arrested on marijuana charges during a traffic stop in Kingsport, Tennessee on Tuesday evening.

As reported earlier, Kingsport police pulled over a rented RV which was carrying the CEO/rapper and his entourage after it made an improper lane change.  The cops would discover a pound of weed in the RV's kitchenette after conducting a search.

All sixteen people in the RV including Birdman’s 18-year-old wife, Brittany Williams, and his brother, Ronald ‘Godfather’ Williams, were charged with possession of over 1/2 ounce of marijuana.

According to The Associated Press, Birdman was released on $1,500 bond from the Sullivan County Jail at around 1:30 a.m. on Wednesday along with the rest of his entourage.

Also seized during the search of the RV were a 9mm handgun, a 2-23 carbine assault rifle and a .45-cal. handgun.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) were added to the investigation after the guns were discovered.  No weapons charges had been filed at press time.

The authorities also revealed that several of the vehicle’s occupants had about $1,000 in cash in hand; some had as much as $5,000.& nbsp; They said that the approximated $12,000 to $15,000 won’t be seized unless the smell of marijuana is detected on it.

The RV was impounded for a thorough search to determine if there are more drugs or weapons aboard.
