Lil Baby, the American rapper, and another man have been released from police custody in Paris after they were arrested on charges of transporting drugs, the city prosecutor's office told CBS News on Friday. Both men were "issued a criminal order to pay a fine for drug use," the prosecutor's office said.
Lil Baby, 26, whose real name is Dominique Jones, has been attending Paris Fashion Week events with NBA star James Harden. A viral video apparently taken by bystanders showed several police officers questioning Harden and another man. Harden can be heard saying, "I don't understand." The prosecutor's office said Harden, 31, was "not arrested nor placed in custody" and declined to comment further, citing the ongoing investigation.More Related News
