Police in suburban Richmond arrested the Grammy Award-winning singer early Sunday. A subsequent search turned up "what we believe to be cocaine and marijuana," said Chesterfield police Capt. Karl Leonard. He said the substances will be analyzed.
Along with drunk driving, Archer, 30, a Richmond native, was charged with possession of marijuana and possession of a controlled substance. He is due in court next Tuesday.
