Super producer Scott Storch was partying a little too hard in Las Vegas earlier this month— TMZ reports the hitmaker was busted by police for cocaine possession.

Storch, who has a history of drug addiction, was reportedly arrested in Sin City at a hotel on February 4. Police were first alerted by an employee who complained that Storch refused to pay for his room.

Since released on $5,000 bond, Storch was seen going about his business as usual in L.A. this weekend.

The former Roots member and Aftermath producer has crafted hits for 50 Cent, Chris Brown, Mariah Carey, Jessica Simpson and more. He lost much of his fortune to drug addiction and did a stint in rehab in 2006.

 

Last summer, the award-winning beatsmith revealed that he was working on a new album on which he was hoping to work with music legends like Stevie Wonder and Quincy Jones.
