Meek Mill recently discussed his 2007 arrest, on the 17th anniversary of the day police booked him for attempted or aggravated assault against a police officer. Reflecting on the incident on Twitter, Meek explained that police lied about the situation. They had obtained a search warrant for his home after an officer for Philadelphia’s Narcotics Field Unit claimed he sold crack to an informant. Afterward, police said Meek chased them and fired a shot at one of them. He used his mug shot from the arrest as the cover of his Dreamchasers 4 mixtape.
“January 23rd I caught this case I got charged for pointed a gun at a cop and selling crack,” he began. “I was just walking to the store with with a gun to protect my one life in a dangerous hood! Them cops lied on me and karma is repaying me! Be a good person you gone prosper! I did not sell or have crack on me! I only sold crack a few weeks when I was flat broke, I was selling weed to the people who sold crack that had the big stacks of cash! The same weed trapping they doing nowadays! But paying 6k a pound for haze at 17 crazy lol.”
