 PHILADELPHIA (Philadelphia Daily News) - Rapper Beanie Sigel will likely call prison home after a scheduled guilty plea this week. Sigel, whose real name is Dwight Grant, will plead guilty to federal drug and weapons charges at a hearing Tuesday, his lawyer told the Philadelphia Daily News. The 30-year-old rapper would face a likely sentence of about three years under federal guidelines if he pleads guilty to drug-possession and weapon-possession charges. During an April 2002 traffic stop, Sigel allegedly ditched his 2002 Cadillac Escalade and a loaded handgun while fleeing from police. Police said they found a variety of drugs in the vehicle, including codeine, oxycodone and marijuana.
