UPDATE: Rapper Chief Keef pleaded no contest to a drug charge on Friday. Read the the story here.

EARLIER STORY:

A Chicago-based rapper arrested in Sioux Falls in 2017 after marijuana edibles were found in his carry-on bag is scheduled to plead guilty Friday morning.

Keith Farrelle Cozart, known as Chief Keef, is scheduled to plead guilty and be sentenced in Minnehaha County court Friday morning, according to a court schedule sent out Thursday.

Cozart was charged with possession of a controlled substance and possession of two ounces or less of marijuana in June 2017 after Sioux Falls airport security found a blunt and marijuana edibles in Cozart's bag, police said. Cozart was in Sioux Falls for a performance and was leaving when the items were found.

The conditions of Cozart's plea deal are unknown as of Thursday afternoon. Airport security officers were delivered subpoenas for the court date, according to the case docket.

Earlier:Chief Keef's attempt to dismiss charge from marijuana edible denied

Cozart's attorney had attempted to dismiss the controlled substance charge last year, arguing that the definitions for marijuana and THC-infused edibles were "unconstitutionally vague," and that they conflict with controlled substance definitions.

"It is difficult to imagine how a person of ordinary intelligence could review the referenced statutes and determine whether marijuana edibles are a 'controlled substance' instead of 'marijuana,'" the defense argued in October 2018.

A judge ultimately denied that motion, saying THC-infused edibles, which contain THC but no plant material, are not marijuana…but a controlled substance.”
