In the summer of 2006, both Sean P and J-Bo were arrested on weapons and drugs charges in their native Atlanta. According to reports, they were caught in a traffic stop that involved an expired license plate-bearing tour bus. Despite this, all of the charges were later dropped- which wasn't too surprising as the two had never brushed in with the law prior in the past.
