Big Boi of the Grammy winning duo Outkast has avoided jail time by agreeing to a plea deal in a drug case.

The 36-year old rapper was arrested after exiting a Miami cruise ship in August when a K-9 dog alerted that he was carrying drugs. After a subsequent search, Big Boi was found to be in possession of ecstacy, a cigarette roller with marijuana residue and MDMA.

As part of the plea deal agreed to yesterday in a Miami courtroom, Big Boi will have to undergo three months of drug testing, community service and make $2,000 in donations to charities.

According to the Associated Press, the two felony drug charges the rapper faced will be dismissed if he tests clean for three months.
