Paul Michael Slayton, better known to millions as Houston rapper Paul Wall, was arrested on a drug charge on Friday.

Slayton, 35, was charged with manufacturing/delivery of a controlled substance between 4 and 400 grams, a felony charge, according to the Harris Country District Clerk's Office.

Also arrested and given the same charge was fellow rapper Ronald Ray Bryant, known as Baby Bash. Both rappers made their bail, which were each set at $20,000.

TMZ reports Slayton and Bryant were among 10 people arrested when officers executed a search warrant on a Harris County location early Friday. ABC13 reports officers found the group with Tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC.

Slayton spent Thursday night driving to various Houston locations collecting gifts for a holiday toy drive, according to his Instagram page.

On Friday afternoon, Bryant tweeted a message to his followers stating, "Got caught up with a lil Weed yall.. no biggie. Lol #cannabiscommunity."

Slayton's attorney, Jolanda Jones, released a statement Friday evening, stating that her client is "innocent until proven guilty." Jones wrote that she was "confident that after a thorough investigation of these allegations," Slayton would be found not guilty.

"I will fight vigorously to defend my client," she wrote.

Both Slayton and Bryant are scheduled to appear in court on Dec. 27. At this time, it's unclear if Bryant has a lawyer.
