Although Fabolous hasn't been arrested, police pulled over a tour bus alleged to be his, and promptly pulled almost 500 lbs. of marijuana out of it. The driver and the sole passenger both claim Fabolous loaded the cargo on the bus in Phoenix and told the driver to meet him in Boston. Police may still be on the lookout for an accomplice carring a half-tonne of Twinkies.

Though Fab was not on the bus at the time of the seizure, the two men who were arrested, Edward Thimas, 52, and Robert Morris, 44, claimed that Fabolous had loaded the marijuana into the locked compartment, as well as close to $6,500 in cash, which the police also confiscated.

Though both men agreed that the marijuana belonged to Fabolous, according to the police reports, their stories conflicted regarding the pickup of the drug shipment.

Thimas claimed that Fab had told them to drive the marijuana to Boston and contact himself and "the other rapper" when they arrived, to pick up the shipment. Morris, on the other hand, alleged that they had driven "three rappers from Atlanta to Phoenix," and were transporting the drugs to Boston, where they were meeting the rappers, who had flown ahead.
