The artist was pulled over from the authorities on Sunday evening in Vouliagmenis Avenue. During the inspection of his vehicle small amounts of drugs (two grams of  cocaine) were found. He also had a firearm and it is not confirmed as yet if he had a licence for it (some sites say he had it illegally).
Shortly after the inspection he was arrested and taken to the Police station of Elliniko-Argyroupolis. He will be held in custody until his meeting with the prosecutor, most likely in the morning hours of Monday.
