Beanie Sigel's Hearing On Gun & Drug Charges Gets Continued

by Steven J. Horowitz

Beanie Sigel appears in court over drug and gun charges.

Beanie Sigel appeared in Folcroft District Court yesterday, facing gun and drug charges following an arrest last month on Interstate 95 in Tinicum, Pennsylvania.
Prosecutors requested a continuance in the proceedings against him so that lab results on the alleged drugs found on him would be ready. Bail was originally set at $300,000 and was changed to unsecured. According to Philly.com, this allows the rapper to be transferred from Delaware County prison to begin his two-year sentence for tax evasion. He had been held on a federal detainer, and was scheduled to report yesterday.
Sigel’s preliminary hearing has been continued until November 14th at 9:30 a.m.
