Dancehall singer, Buju Banton, real name, Mark Myrie, was convicted this week on drug charges in Tampa, Florida. He has been remanded into custody. The original case brought against him last year resulted in a mistrial.

However, the singer was found guilty this week, in spite of the fact, the government's cooperating witness in the case stated, the drugs, guns and vehicle used in the set up did not belong to Banton. His attorney announced they will lodge an appeal.
