Wiz Khalifa has reportedly dodged additional jail time after pleading guilty to misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia.
The charge dates back to his arrest on May 25, 2014 when authorities found marijuana on the rapper during a search at El Paso International Airport. The Transportation Security Administration apparently discovered about half a gram of pot and turned him over to local police.
