R&B singer Frank Ocean cited for pot possession
BRIDGEPORT, Calif. (AP) — Grammy-nominated R&B singer Frank Ocean is facing a marijuana possession charge after police say he was pulled over on New Year's Eve in California's Eastern Sierra Nevada for driving more than 90 mph in a 65 mph zone.
The Mono County Sheriff's Department says officers stopped Ocean's black BMW at about 4:30 p.m. Dec. 31 as he was heading southbound on U.S. 395.
Sheriff's spokeswoman Jennifer Hansen says a strong odor of marijuana wafted out as a deputy approached the vehicle.
Hansen says the deputy found a small bag of marijuana on the 25-year-old Ocean, whose legal name is Christopher Breaux (broh).
She says the Beverly Hills resident was cited for marijuana possession and released.
Calls and an email message sent to Ocean's representatives Thursday were not immediately returned.

DUH.... like we need pronunciation lessons? You only put that in there because he's black.
@slappywag --- Really, because he's black?!? Come on!
I agree, he's just at the wrong place - move northward my friend!
Come to Washington state buddy. We have more important things for our police department to focus their attention on :)
Come on up here to Washington, we will welcome you with open arms.
And here in Washington we say, "So What!" He's lucky they didn't charge him for Driving Under the Influence of an Intoxicant.
and released to drive off, because you can function just fine on pot.
@Rockberry --- Says the pot-head.Â
