ATLANTA — Police in North Carolina said they followed their noses to the tour bus of rap group Migos and found multiple types of drugs onboard.
Three men, none of them members of the popular rap group, were charged with drug possession Thursday night, according to a news release from the Boone Police Department.
The officers “detected an obvious odor of marijuana coming from the band’s vehicle” as it left the venue at Appalachian State University, where Migos had just performed, the news release said.
Police searched the vehicle at about 10:30 p.m.and said they found 420 grams of marijuana, 26 ounces of codeine and Xanax pills.
