Rapper Lil’ Wayne aka Dwayne Carter, has pleaded guilty to attempted weapons charges today. The plea likely means Carter will have to serve a jail sentence of up to a year.

The rapper’s tour bus was stopped in NYC back in July of 2007 after officers claimed to have seen and smelled marijuana smoke coming from the bus.

Via Pop Eater:

“Police said that as an officer approached, the rapper (real name Wayne Carter) tossed away a Louis Vuitton bag containing a gun.

Prosecutors said trace amounts of DNA found on the loaded gun connected it to Wayne. His defense lawyer said the gun wasn’t his, and that there were flaws in the way the evidence was tested.”

Wayne was originally charged with criminal weapons possession, of which he pleaded not-guilty.

The rapper is also scheduled to appear in an Arizona court shortly on felony drug and weapons charges.
