Lawyers for Irv Gotti will enter a plea on his
behalf on August 25 and the CEO of Murder Inc. will enter a drug-diversion program
in Oakland, California.
Because he has no criminal record, Gotti is eligible
for the drug-diversion program. He must complete the program to have drug related
charges dismissed.
Gotti was arrested last Friday backstage at the
Oakland Coliseum during an R. Kelly concert. Guards at a security checkpoint
searched Gotti and found one ecstasy pill and four prescription Viagra tablets
in his wallet.
