guilty in February for conspiring to deal cocaine, reggae
superstar Buju Banton (né Mark Myrie), 38, has been
sentenced to 10 years in prison, Yahoo reports.
The Jamaica native was given the lowest sentence possible for
his crimes, conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute
cocaine, and using a telephone to facilitate a drug trafficking
offense.
“The days that lie ahead are filled with despair, but I have
courage and grace and I’m hopeful, and that is sufficient to
carry me through,” he said in the statement. “The man is not
dead. Don’t call him a ghost.”
Prior to being found guilty in February, Banton scored a
controversial win at the Grammys for Best Reggae Album for
Before the Dawn.

As an officer was seated in his patrol car, Jesse James Thomas, 55, approached on foot and jumped on the hood. Thomas yelled his own name then ran off. He was described wearing a dark puffy jacket, a sombrero, and a boxing glove on his right hand. He was soon found in the area lying in the street and subsequently arrested for public intoxication.
