The Sheriff's Facebook page revealed that the Narcotics and Swat Divisions 'conducted a drug distribution and warrant roundup.'
Said roundup resulted in the execution of 18 warrants, 14 of which were drug related.
The department also released a mug shot of the singer, which shows him dressed in what is presumably an orange and white jumpsuit.
