UPDATE: I guess Too $hort couldn’t get off that easy. TMZ is now reporting that yesterday (Friday), the West Coast rapper was formally charged with four misdemeanors: two counts of DUI, one count of possession of a controlled substance and one count of possession of marijuana or an open container while driving. Could be worse.

Well….this is interesting. Even after trying to run from the cops (whether he’s telling the truth or not), it looks like Too $hort is going to be off the hook. From TMZ:
We’ve learned … the L.A. County District Attorney has REJECTED the felony drug case, because cops only found a very small amount of drugs — which they say is meth. Given that Short does not have a felony record, the D.A. decided not to prosecute and sent the case over to the L.A. City Attorney for misdemeanor review.
We’re told the City Attorney will look at the case … probably next week.
FYI … Short insists he was not in possession of drugs, and whatever was found in the back of the cop car was left by the prior arrestee who involuntarily hitched a ride to the pokey.
