Miss Tyra Sanchez busted on drug charge
The winner of the 2nd season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” was busted on drug charges this week in Gwinnett, according to The Atlanta Journal.
James William Ross IV, also known as Tyra Sanchez, was arrested Tuesday night when the car he was a passenger in was stopped on I-85 for having illegal window tinting, according to a police report obtained by the AJC. The Gwinnett police officer who stopped the car said he smelled raw marijuana and searched the vehicle.
Ross, 23, of Atlanta, was charged with marijuana possession and booked into the Gwinnett County jail. He posted bond and was released the following afternoon, jail records show. Source
Our police source tells us that Ross was forced to remove her drag queen paraphernalia for her mug shot — including a lacefront wig and layers of professional makeup, which helps explain the disarrayed hairline in her mugshot.

I loved Tyra on RuPaul’s drag race, Juju Bee should have won though!
Back on topic, am I the only one who doesn’t view marijuana as a “drug?” Coke, heroin, meth are drugs to me. Random thought.
Ops*
I have never smoked weed before, however, I feel if alcohol is legal weed should be as well. Problem is, greedy but uncle sam can’t get his kick back on it.
NOW JAMES
this is not the type of role model you want to be for your son 
HEY COCOA
Its a drug girl…but I agree, I say the same thing about PUZAZAY:yes:
I thought this was the Lil Kim post… again.. oops
I have a question, do males get upset when their family name is passed down from generation to generation, and the last one who has it is a drag queen? No disrespect, just curious. Sandra none of the pic you posted are cute, Ms Tyra is pretty in drag.
it Should have stayed a boi, cute.
I don’t even know what to say about this
see even the drag queen look more human than lil kim
which helps explain the disarrayed hairline in her mugshot
WHy do drag queens wear soooooo much make-up? That ain’t cute.
His eyebrows are like my friends’. They’re real think and then all of a sudden get super thin at the end.

Yes it is a drug but like Ashland said, why isn’t it legal like alcohol?
Cha, I forgot he has a son! Was he down low when he had this child? Because…
In the words of OutKast
“Marijuana illegal but cigarettes cool?”…..
@ CHA CHA aka Cali Sunkissed:
What son?
I like him but I’ve always wondered what female had sex with him to give him a child
Drag queens must really hate getting arrested. That’s a lot of work to remove their faces for the mug shot
@ Cocoabana:
He was most likely down low when he had his son. Atlanta is the capitol of down low men
HE looks a hot dam pig feet stew mess.
There I said it.
He is a good looking yound man. I secretly want to see what I would look like with a full face of drag makeup, especially the over the top eyes. I may do it for Halloween.
Sandra Rose says:
@ CHA CHA aka Cali Sunkissed:
What son?
Yes he has a son… Read his bio
I will go GOOGLE IT… SANDRITA you aint watch the show 
3 Stacks went hard on Synthesizer
That’s what I thought Sandra because his ass is clearly GAY.
AE: The other thing that everybody’s curious about is your son who is obviously an important part of your life. How did he come to be?
TS: My son was born after high school. I wasn’t gay in high school – I became gay after high school. And I got custody from his mom. She just gave it over to me. It wasn’t a battle or anything – it was just an agreement we made together.

@ CHA CHA aka Cali Sunkissed:
No. I missed all the seasons. I have no interest in that.
From the looks of his boy pics, I would say hes looks better as a queen

Thanks for reminding me to just keep playing with myself, Dam shame Atlanta
and you are right they everywhere
Oh yeah HE IS A MAJOR BEYONCE STAN
“TS: My son was born after high school.”
^^^ That explains it. I bet he attended high school in another state before moving to Atlanta and getting corrupted by these queens here.

DID YOU HEAR THE RIP NOISE
and stop patting 
Hello All. In my lifetime, I hope to see maryjane legalized. Recent surveys show that most Americans want it legal, so we can spend our tax money on more important things beside keeping brothers in prison, which cost about $12,000 per yr per inmate. Besides, if alcohol and cigarettes are legal and kills thousands, perhaps millions a yr, SO CAN POT! After all, in the history of the WORLD, no one has EVER, EVER, EVER died jsut from smoking pot. I’m just saying. Peace.
“She just gave it over to me” “IT” ummm once again
So who was driving the car if ol birl (boy + girl) was the passenger?
@Cfree I think he was referring to the word “custody” as the it. I had to read it twice myself
Kind of remind me of Waka Flocka without locs
In my Beyaki voice “If I were a boooooooooy…”
He shouldn’t be offended he had to remove his costume and wig didn’t one of the Braxton sister’s have to do the same thing :cofee:
DAWN aint got em all, nope shol dont
which helps explain the disarrayed hairline in her mugshot
——————————————
it does not explain why he got a baby high top fade underneef tho.
@ Man:
the driver was arrested as well. The AJC has the whole story.

@SANDRA ROSE

Eddie Murphy
Mase
Johnny Gill
Michael Strahan
Ludacriss
Ne-Yo
I can’t,,, I just can’t!!! Lol…
That pic was taken in high school years ago
—————————————————-
He only 23. He was in HS what 5-6 years ago? STILL puts us back at 05-06.
Not 1992. Sorry. No bueno. I expect better from a 2nd place drag queen

I don’t believe this. He said he is straight
and only dresses in drag when he’s on stage. Plus, look at his outfit, who would be in full drag in a basic black tee shirt?

i do not remember him saying he was straight on Drag Race nor would i have believed it…not b/c he dresses like a woman but the way he acts even when he is dressed like a dude
when she was a boy
:rofl:
Poor thang got popped for DWB and he ain’t even black. I wonder how many white folks get stopped for the old too tinted windows and license plate light out and wind up with a full car search because to officer “smelled raw Mary Jane.”
According to him he knew he was gay but fell in love with his female best friend, who he had his son with.
which reminds me, i need to get my tint back on my car
DeevaC-i didn’t even have to hear that story and i figured that is what happened. he had a baby w/ his bestie like clay aiken
So…did the driver in the ’05 Impala with the too dahk winders… know she was really a HE with a 1992 baby high top fade? Ohhh and does the driver got a wife/woman? Cause his name was printed too. Cause if they don’t know…(in my Biggie voice) “now they know NUKKA.”

Sandra since you in here can you give me medical advice (w/ a disclaimer of course) about my secret place and the proper use of Nair… I am still scared from the burning bush incident over the weekend.

I never heard him say that… He is way to girly to be straight… I cant see how he was ever straight even before he claims he wasnt in High School.

@cocoa
NO It’s NOT A DRUG (Drugs are Detrimental to Your Body & Can KILL !!!) I HAD Relatives and Friends DIE from Alcohol, Cocaine, Crack, Heroine & Prescription Drugs… I STILL haven’t had anybody I KNOW Die from Smoking WEED (Real)
Someone asked why do Drag Queens wear so much makeup…um, because its a costume! Most likely, they aren’t just rocking their drag makeup to the mall…they are performing under heavy lighting where stage makeup is needed. Plus they got to cover their 5’0Clock shadows.
Dude isn’t UGLY in the Least w/o All that Make-Up but 90% of the FEMALE Celebrities (YT and Black) are Somewhat HIDEOUS w/o THEIRS — JMO
@WUT..HEFFA U FINNA GET A BISH FIRED WITHCHO GRAVI FOOLISHNESS!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My apologies. What I was remembering was from an interview he did with VH1. Here is the question and answer:
One thing I never got a sense of on the show is exactly how your son came to be. Were you in a relationship with a woman?
Yes, for two years in high school, my 11th grade year and my 12th grade year. He was born the first week of my senior year.
~~~~~~~~~~
He did go on to say that he sleeps with men and women, but he wouldn’t want to be in a relationship with a woman. I’m a big girl and I can admit when I’m wrong.
Glad you didn’t take my previous comment as shade. ::):
Hi everyone !
@mistarie-nope…hell…i just thought i missed that. i saw the rolled eyes and knew you didn’t actually believe that boy wasn’t gay! lol!
@ chocolatecity-yeah…after the last season of drag race…they came after their season too. hope they come after the next one.
Sorry guys. I thought I had changed that gravi!
Now Sandrose.com ya’ll are to funny. James is from Orlando,Fl and the influence begin here as well. Now I’ve seen him around and in my opinion he has always lacked personality. To answer the questions about the heavy make-up…female impersonation is all about the illusion and the make helps contour the masculine features into more feminine ones. So, when giving a stage performance it looks good.
FeFe!!!! Ur baaaaaak!
SUP VERO CHI and ERONE IN THIS THREAD
I love other Tyra that’s my bish! I’m tired of people getting locked up for
