Transportation Security Administration
agents were patting Davison down when they felt a large bulge inside his right pants leg, authorities said. The rapper told the screeners at first that the object was a colostomy bag. Davison "PSD" then tried to leave, but a TSA supervisor told him he could be examined privately. Davison again tried to leave and said he had to go to the restroom, authorities said. The rap artist was escorted to the private screening area, where a Sacramento County sheriff’s deputy found $5,600 in $100 bills in his front left pocket, Special Agent Brian Nehring wrote in an affidavit filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Sacramento. The deputy concluded that the bag in Davison’s pants leg contained pills, which the rapper said were vitamins, Nehring wrote. As the search continued, Davison “became increasingly nervous and sweated profusely” and said the bag contained ice, the agent wrote.
Because of his behavior, the deputy handcuffed him. Davison reached into his pants while handcuffed and produced a bag that contained 1,000 ecstasy pills, authorities said.
A TSA screener later found 5,000 more ecstasy pills in the room, where Davison had briefly been left unattended before the search, authorities said.
PSD was close friends with Mac Dre; they formed a rap group called the Cutthoat Committee which also includes rapper Dubee. The group went on to record two albums Turf Buccaneers and Money Iz Motive. Unfortunately the group has been disabled due to the death of Mac Dre, the prison incarceration of Dubee, and the drug charges against PSD for getting caught with 6,000 ecstasy tablets (thizz) in his pants. PSD has worked with many other artists throughout the Bay Area. He has said in interviews that rapper San Quinn is like family to him. He also is linked to other rappers such as Mac Dre, Dubee, Mac Mall, Rydah J. Klyde, Richie Rich, Yukmouth, J.Stalin, J-Diggs, E40, Bavgate, and others.
