Flesh-N-Bone, one of the founding members of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, appeared in court on April 6 for gun and drug possession charges.

According to the LA Times, the 35-year-old rapper (real name: Stanley Howse) pleaded not guilty to the charges and is due back in court on April 16.

Flesh was pulled over on April 2 in Santa Clarita, Calif. by Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies for a non-functional brake light. Since the rapper is currently on parole — after serving 7 1/2 years in prison and being released in July 28 — his car, as well as his home, was subjected to a search.
