Rapper Nines accused of possession of cannabis after being arrested at Heathrow airport

British rapper Nines has been charged with drug offenses after being arrested at Heathrow Airport.

The 33-year-old, whose real name is Courtney Freckleton, was arrested last Wednesday, the Metropolitan Police said.

The rapper had his hands cuffed behind his back as officers took him to the airport.

Nines was accused of being concerned about the supply of cannabis and possession of the Class B drug.

He was also charged with three counts of breaching a serious crime prevention order for allegedly failing to notify police of his home address and possessing a second phone and laptop that he had not registered with officers, according to court documents.

Nines, who lives in Bushey, Hertfordshire, appeared in custody at Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court last Friday.

A court official told Sky News he pleaded no contest to any of the charges and was granted conditional bail by District Judge Kathryn Verghis.

He is due to appear at Kingston Crown Court on December 15 for a plea and case management hearing.

The Met told Sky News: ‘Courtney Freckleton appeared in custody at Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court on Friday, November 17, charged with three counts of breaching an existing serious crime prevention order, being concerned about the supply of a class B drug (cannabis) and possession of a class B drug (cannabis).

‘He was arrested at Heathrow Airport on Wednesday 15 November. ‘He has been released on bail to appear at Kingston Crown Court on December 15.’
