In a surprising turn of events, Lil Wayne has avoided going to jail for at least another month. The rapper was scheduled to be formally sentenced by a judge and begin his one-year prison sentence today on felony weapons possession. However the setencing has been pushed back to March 2 due to dental surgery.

Wayne’s lawyer, Stacey Richman submitted documentation to  the Manhattan District Attorney’s  Office  requesting that the sentencing be postponed due to  the rapper suffering from a cracked tooth.

MTV.com  reports:

The rapper is set to undergo surgery February 12 in Miami, according to Richman. He will need a week to 10 days to recover. His defense offered prosecutors February 25 as a date for Wayne to turn himself him in after surgery, but Judge Charles H. Solomon instead selected March 2.

The judge then warned Wayne that he must return to Miami on Tuesday. Solomon insisted if he leaves tomorrow, there would be a chance his surgery would be delayed due to hazardous weather conditions leaving New York.

“I don’t want this to get pushed back anymore,” Solomon said. “This is the last adjournment.”

Is this a ploy for Lil Wayne to avoid serving his sentence?
