Afeni Shakur was arrested in North Carolina for drug possession on April 16th, 2010.  Afeni Shakur famed mother of Tupac and Ex-Black Panther member was charged with felony possession of Marijuana, simple possession of a controlled substance and maintaining a vehicle, dwelling or place for a controlled substance in Lumberton, NC.  Her fight with drug use was mentioned by Tupac in the song Dear Mama.  When I first heard about this, I thought is was going to be some serious drug that she was caught with.  It was just marijuana, even though the charges sound serious, she’ll most likely get a misdemeanor charge.  Afeni is currently out on $10,000 bond and is due back in court on May 10th.  Seems the police don’t have anything better to do in NC then to arrest old ladies for marijuana possession.  I guess they should send them out to Chicago to help with the violence problem then.
