Reggae artiste Denroy Morgan, who was arrested in New York on drug charges last week, has been released on US$8,000 ($688,000) bail.
The 66-year-old reggae singer, who fathers the members of Morgan Heritage, was reportedly busted when police saw him leaving a Bronx home.
His capture also led to the seizure of a 310lb stash of ganja and the arrest of another man, Wayne Sway, who was also alleged to have been held with 16lb of the plant.
Both Morgan and Sway were charged with criminal possession of marijuana. Cops said the 351lb marijuana seizure has a street value between US$140,000 (J$12 million) and US $351,000 (J$30 million).
According to the police, when caught, Morgan, who is popular for his song I Will Do Anything For You, "confessed to cops that he was flush with weed."
It is also reported that the drug bust was not a sting operation but the result of eagle-eyed narcotics cops.
