Rapper arrested after disturbance – drugs found in flat
A Swedish rapper was remanded in custody on Thursday on suspicion of a serious drug offence, after police found drugs in a flat in central Halmstad on Tuesday, according to expressen.se.
Police were called to the flat following reports that someone might be in danger. Upon arrival, drugs were discovered and three people were arrested – a woman and two men.
"The police came to the flat because they had received a report that someone might be in danger. Drugs were found there and then a woman and two men were arrested," duty prosecutor Anastasiya Blomwood told Hallandsposten.
Halmstad police's on-call chief investigator Jens Christensen states that the suspicions concern possession of a large quantity of suspected drugs. The rapper was remanded in custody with restrictions, partly on the grounds that he is assessed to be capable of obstructing the investigation and that there is a risk of further offences if he is released. Charges are to be brought by 26 November at the latest according to the remand order.
The rapper's lawyer told Expressen that he denies the charges.
The rapper has previously been convicted of both violent offences and drug offences. He is also charged with assault and a minor drug offence after he is reported to have attacked a man with punches on Östermalm in Stockholm last year.
"I have never experienced anything like it. It was a mad attack. I did not see it coming at all," the complainant stated during questioning.
The rapper for his part claims that he was hit first.
