Dallas Austin pardoned for cocaine possession
Just hours after a criminal court sentenced Grammy-winning producer Dallas Austin to four years in prison today, Dubai’s ruler issued a pardon that was to set him free.
A pair of attorneys for the 34-year-old R&B composer, who pleaded guilty on Sunday to bringing a gram and a quarter of cocaine into the United Arab Emirates city, said the pardon authorising Austin’s release was a matter of paperwork.
