Darius Rucker Arrested For Possession of Marijuana, Psilocin Pills

Darius Rucker allegedly had multiple substances when cops say they busted him for drug possession in Tennessee … TMZ has learned.

As it turns out that stop happened almost a year ago, but Darius just turned himself in to cops on Thursday.

According to the arrest affidavit, obtained by TMZ … Franklin police officers say they pulled the Hootie & the Blowfish frontman over — on Feb. 19, 2023 — because they noticed the tags on his cars appeared to be expired, a fact they say they confirmed with their in-car computer.

Officers claim they smelled marijuana coming from the vehicle, then asked Rucker about whether he’d smoked that evening to which they say he promptly replied “no” — though he allegedly said he may have smoked in it the day prior.

The cops searched the car and say they discovered what they suspected was a THC pen along with 14 unmarked purple pills — items police allege Rucker said were given to him by his GF, Summer.

One of the officers then says he informed DR he’d pat him down … and Darius then allegedly handed him a small marijuana blunt from his pocket before the search got underway.

The police claim they later tested the 14 pills and identified them as psilocin … a schedule I controlled substance similar to psilocybin or magic mushrooms.

Officers released him from the scene without charges, pending identification of those pills. According to the docs, a warrant was issued for his arrest in December 2023.

We broke the story … Darius was arrested Thursday on 3 misdemeanor charges — 2 for possession and one for driving with an expired registration. The whole booking took about an hour, and Darius was released after paying $10,000 bail.
