Rapper Erica Banks was arrested Monday after police found drugs during a traffic stop in Georgia.
The 27-year-old artist was riding as a passenger in a vehicle driven by Amani Dirton when officers from Brookhaven Police Department pulled the car over — officers allegedly noticed the license plate was covered.
During a search, officers reportedly found numerous ecstasy pills in Erica Banks’ purse, plus “several packets” of marijuana on Dirton.
Banks was arrested and charged with possession of a Schedule II controlled substance with intent to distribute. Dirton faces multiple charges, including theft by receiving stolen property, improper display of a license plate, and marijuana-distribution charges.
This marks a second legal incident for Banks this year — in August, she was arrested at the Atlanta airport after TSA officers reportedly found a stolen handgun in her carry-on.
She has not yet commented publicly on the most recent arrest.
