Sean Paul Busy With Swedish Cops
E! Online, Aug 11, 2008 12:00 pm PDTThis year it was the cops who got busy at the Uppsala Reggae Festival. Kinda like shooting fish in a barrel, though, isn't it?
Sean Paul was arrested on suspicion of marijuana possession Friday after getting swept up in a police raid at the annual Swedish music fest, which takes place in the town of Uppsala, about 110 miles north of Stockholm.
Anyway, per TMZ, the Jamaican artist was one of 200 to 300 people—including 10 performers—who were hauled off to a local police station for questioning. Police said that they collected evidence at the scene and an investigation into the allegedly smoky shenanigans is currently underway.
