Lanez, 24, was charged with carrying a concealed firearm, possession of cannabis (20 grams or less), failure to register a motor vehicle, driving without a valid driver’s license and failure to show proof of liability insurance. The cannabis charge is a first degree misdemeanor, while the firearm possession charge is a third degree felony.
