Morgan, who is now 66 years old, had a club disco hit record in 1981 called “I’ll Do Anything For You,” it was hugely popular.
As Reported By The NY Daily News:
Morgan’s capture led to the seizure of a 310-pound stash of marijuana and the arrest of another man caught toting 16 pounds of pot, cops said.
Known for his 1981 reggae-disco hit “I’ll Do Anything For You,” Morgan, 66, told cops he was flush with weed when they pulled his car over Wednesday afternoon and got a whiff of the drug, police said.
A source insisted the unraveling of the cannabis caper did not stem from a surveillance sting but was the result of eagle-eyed narcotics detectives.
Morgan copped to having a trunkload of pot, the source said.
Cops opened the trunk and found two large bags filled with 25 pounds of grass, the source said.
