NEW YORK – Lil Wayne's assistant says he occasionally saw a handgun and people smoking marijuana on the award-winning rapper's tour bus.
But Terry Bourgeois also testified Monday he never saw Lil Wayne with a gun and didn't know whether one was on the bus in July 2007 when the 26-year-old rapper was arrested in Manhattan on gun charges.
A police officer testified last month she boarded Lil Wayne's bus after a concert because she smelled marijuana. She said that while on the bus she saw him try to hide a gun.
Defense lawyer Stacey Richman wants the charges dismissed. She says police falsely claimed they smelled marijuana so they could illegally board the bus.
The rapper (real name: Dwayne Carter) has pleaded not guilty and is free on $70,000 bail.
