BigXthaPlug Arrested In Texas During Routine Traffic Stop

BigXthaPlug was arrested in Arlington, Texas, on February 26 for marijuana possession after a traffic stop.

He was taken into custody during a traffic stop for driving with expired tags. Cops reportedly smelled marijuana and found a suspicious green substance in the vehicle. A search of the car revealed marijuana in the console and a handgun in the passenger door pocket. 

BigXthaPlug, whose real name is Xavier Landum, was charged with possession of less than 2 ounces of marijuana. Another individual, Cleodist Landum, was also in the car and arrested on an outstanding felony warrant. Landum faces additional charges for unlawful carrying of a weapon. 

BigXthaPlug is currently being held at the Arlington City Jail. 

The arrest comes just over a week after Lil Baby announced BigXthaPlug as an opener for the WHAM Tour. 

He is set to perform at all U.S. dates—except Los Angeles—starting with the Houston, Texas, show at the Toyota Center on June 3. NLE Choppa and Loe Shimmy will also appear at most U.S. stops.
