Overview
- Casada Sorrell, known as Sada Baby, waived his preliminary exam on Dec. 11 before Judge Eric D. Shepherd, and the case was bound over to circuit court with an arraignment date still pending.
- He is charged with possession of a controlled substance less than 25 grams, a Michigan felony carrying a maximum sentence of four years.
- Prosecutors filed a third-time habitual-offender notice that can increase punishment at sentencing, and the county prosecutor publicly pledged to pursue narcotics cases aggressively.
- Sterling Heights Police say a January traffic stop led to the discovery of a bag of pills in the driver-side door as he was taken into custody on an outstanding warrant.
- Authorities allege the pills included acetaminophen and oxycodone hydrochloride without a valid prescription, and the 33-year-old rapper has said he plans to fight the charge.
