Meek Mill may have just caught a huge break in the drug and gun conviction case that has kept him on probation since 2008. He's currently serving a 2-4 year prison sentence for violating that probation.
TMZ reports that new legal documents filed in the case indicate the officer who arrested Meek in 2007 has a suspect history.
Philadelphia Police Officer Gerold Gibson claims fellow cop Reginald Graham lied when he said Meek pointed a gun at him. According to Gibson, the rapper was simply removing the weapon from his waist to discard it.
Gibson says Graham also lied about the "Dreams and Nightmares" hit maker resisting arrest. Graham allegedly admitted to other cops that he roughed Meek up during the arrest.
This new information came to light following a recent article published by the Philadelphia Inquirer about police officers with a history of lying, racial bias or brutality.
The police misconduct list has been kept secret, but sources say it includes Graham, who retired last year after a 22-year career.
Former narcotics officer Jeffrey Walker, who was convicted of police corruption and spent two years in prison said, “I would steal with Reggie Graham. There was stealing in that whole squad, but these are the people I was basically breaking bread with.”
Meek, born Robert Williams, wants his conviction overturned given Graham's history. If that happens he would be released from prison.
