Juvenile and an associate producer have been arrested for misdemeanor possession of marijuana after neighbors told police they could smell pot coming from a house being used as a recording studio in Louisiana.
The 34-year-old rap star, whose real name is Terius Gray, was booked on Thursday at a jail in St. Bernard Parish southeast of New Orleans. Gray and his 42-year-old producer Leroy Edwards were released later that night on bond.

JUVENILE AVOIDS DAUGHTER'S FUNERAL
Juvenile's 4-year-old daughter, Jelani Deleston, her mother and her older sister were laid to rest in James Island, South Carolina, on Saturday, just over a week after the three were brutally murdered in their Georgia home.
According to several media outlets, Juvenile reportedly did not attend the funeral services. TMZ, citing an unnamed spokesperson for the rapper, reported that he declined to attend because he did not want to attract media to the gathering.
Jelani, Joy Deleston, 39, and Micaiah, 11, were shot and killed on February 28, allegedly by Deleston's 17-year-old son, Anthony Tyrone Terrell Jr. Terrell has been arrested and charged with three counts of murder and three counts of aggravated assault. He is currently being held in a DeKalb County prison. Because of his age, prosecutors cannot seek the death penalty against him.

JUVENILE'S 4-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER MURDERED
The daughter of rapper Juvenile, along with her mother and sister, were murdered Thursday in Georgia, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The mother, Joy Deleston, a sheriff's deputy in Gwinnett County, was fatally shot, as were her two daughters, Micaiah, 11, and Jelani, 4. Jelani was the daughter of Juvenile, the paper reported.
Police in DeKalb County confirmed that the alleged shooter was Anthony Tyrone Terrell Jr., who is Deleston's son. Terrell, 17, is currently being held and is being charged with three counts of murder and three counts of aggravated assault, the AJC reported.
Deleston, 39, was an actress who appeared in locally produced films, as well as a seven-and-a-half-year veteran of the Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office, according to the paper.
Terrell waived his first court hearing, where he would have been formally notified of the charges against him, on Friday (February 29), a Gwinnett County Magistrate Court clerk told the AJC. Defense attorney Lyle Porter has been assigned to represent him.
"Investigators interviewed Mr. Terrell, and as a result of the interview, there was enough probable cause to charge him with the murder of his mother and two sisters," a police spokesperson, who said the motive for the shootings was still under investigation, told the paper.
Deleston brought a paternity lawsuit in 2004, claiming that Juvenile (real name: Terius Gray) was Jelani's father. Attorney Randy Kessler, who represented Juvenile in the proceedings, told The Associated Press that the case was resolved peacefully by consent order in 2006, with both parties agreeing that Juvenile was the father.
