Reggae star Buju Banton pleaded not guilty to drug charges on Thursday (January 7), during his arraignment in Florida, following his arrest in December for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute cocaine.

The singer's lawyer, David Oscar Markus, has reportedly requested that Banton be transported back to Tampa, Florida where the indictment was filed. And also stated that they had no plans to strike a deal with the DEA, because Banton is innocent.

"We will be going to trial," Markus explained. "He did not commit the crimes he's charged with. He was not in any conspiracy."
