Rapper BigXthaPlug Arrested in Collin County on Multiple Charges
- On Friday, Dallas rapper Xavier Landum, known as BigXthaPlug, was arrested by the Allen Police Department and booked into Collin County Jail on charges of driving while intoxicated, marijuana possession, and unlawful firearm possession.

- Iowa State Fair organizers have managed last-minute headliner changes before; Rod Stewart withdrew for medical reasons and was replaced by John Waite for a free fairgoer performance.
