Last week, Darius Rucker pleaded no contest to a charge of simple possession of a controlled substance. He was arrested in February 2024, but the traffic stop that led to the charges happened a year before. During the stop, Darius was caught with a THC pen, a small marijuana joint and 14 purple pills that were later identified as Psilocin, an ingredient in magic mushrooms. He was originally pulled over February 19, 2023 for a traffic violation, and the officer smelled marijuana from the car. Darius admitted he's smoked weed in that vehicle but not that night. When the officer found the pills, Darius told him that his girlfriend at the time gave them to him and he didn't know what they were. The officer let him go and then a year later he got a phone call from a buddy saying that he just saw an arrest warrant for Darius. So, he turned himself in. He initially was charged with two misdemeanor possession charges and driving with expired tags. One possession charge and the expired tags charge were dismissed. Darius pleaded no contest to the other charge and accepted a sentence of 11 months and 29 days probation. If he completes the probation, the charges will be expunged.
