The rapper "Juvenile'' pleaded guilty to marijuana possession in St. Bernard
Parish and received a suspended three-month sentence and must pay a $250
fine, authorities said.

The New Orleans rapper, whose real name is Terius Gray, pleaded guilty
Thursday before state District Judge Manny Fernandez to misdemeanor
possession stemming from his arrest for less than an ounce of marijuana Feb.
25 at an Arabi house he was using as a recording studio. Fernandez also
sentenced Gray, 34, to six months inactive probation and ordered him to pay
court costs.

Music producer Leroy Edwards, 42, who was booked with misdemeanor marijuana
possession along with Gray, did not appear for his scheduled trial date
Thursday. A warrant was issued for Edwards' arrest, but he came to court
Friday and the warrant was withdrawn. Edwards' trial will be Sept. 20.
