BBC is reporting that drum'n'bass legend, Radio 1 DJ and notorious troublemaker Grooverider (aka Raymond Bingham) has been pardoned by the Dubai Royal Family and released from prison after serving half of a four year sentence for drug possession charges.

According to Guardian, on November 23 last year Bingham was arrested at Dubai International Airport after police found a small transparent bag containing 2.16 grams of cannabis and a pornographic DVD in his luggage, hours before a sold-out show at a local superclub The Lodge.

I guess he won't be coming back to Dubai any time soon then...

Urm... small point.

How can he have served half of a 4 yr sentence (which would be 2 years) when we was in prison for less than a year.
