Rapper Paperboy, who is known for the 90s hit single "Ditty," was arrested in Merced, California on Wednesday (June 13) for allegedly selling marijuana.

According to the Merced Sun-Star, the 34-year-old rapper (real name: Mitchell Charles Johnson) was arrested at around 6:30 p.m. after being pulled over and police found him in possession of nearly $1,200 worth of marijuana, said local authorities.

The former rapper was taken into custody and booked on suspicion of possession and sale of marijuana, possession of more than one ounce of marijuana and transportation of marijuana for sale.

Police said the former rapper has been under investigation for several weeks and were able to obtain a search warrant to search his residence, but a search of his property did not turn up any further drugs, aside from paper bag with marijuana residue.

Johnson remains behind bars at Merced County Jail where he is being held on $20,000 bail.

In 1993, Johnson enjoyed success with his single "Ditty," which peaked at no. 24 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and helped his album The Nine Yards reach gold status. He continued to release albums, the last being in 2004, but was unable to garner the same success he had in the early 90s.
