 Baton Rouge rapper Lil Boosie was busted recently, despite already being behind bars.
Louisiana State Police filed charges against the 27-year-old rapper for trying to smuggle drugs into prison.
According to local CBS news affiliate WAFB 9, Boozie (real name: Torrence Hatch) was charged, along with two other inmates, for attempting to smuggle codeine syrup -- also known as sizzurp in southern hip-hop circles -- into the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola, where he is currently housed.
The news channel reports that authorities received information that the three men were conspiring to smuggle the illegal substances into Angola.
Investigators said Boosie's accomplices made arrangements through an undercover agent to have the codeine delivered to the rapper, thus charges were brought forth.
All three men have been charged with conspiracy to introduce contraband into a penal institution; while Boosie was also charged with inciting a felony.
The rapper already faces possession and distribution charges for marijuana, ecstasy and codeine; and is currently being held on a charge of first-degree murder, stemming from an incident in October 2009 in which a Baton Rouge man named Terry Boyd was killed.
