Jeezy … Illegal Weapons Charges Dismissed … Case Smelled Fishy
Jeezy has scored legal vindication ... TMZ has learned weapons charges were dismissed this morning in court, and there's evidence this case was bogus from almost the beginning. TMZ broke the story ... Jeezy and 5 others on his tour bus were arrested last August right before an Orange County concert. Cops found an AK-47 and a Glock on the bus and charged all 6 with felony possession of an illegal weapon.
