Police found marijuana and weapons during raid of “Santana” recording studio in New Jersey. By Mawuse Ziegbe Toby Raynor aka “Hynief” in Bergen County police custody on Thursday Photo: Bergen County Police Department Skull Gang MC Hynief was arrested Thursday on drug charges following a raid on Dipset spitter Juelz Santana’s recording studio. Hynief, who was born Toby M. Raynor, was taken into custody on two counts of distribution of a controlled substance after a search of the “Santana” recording studio in Bergenfield, New Jersey turned up marijuana and weapons. “Two fully loaded 9mm caliber handguns were found in the recording studio along with several boxes of ammunition. Additionally, seventeen (17) small clear zip-lock bags each containing a greenish brown vegetation, consistent with the appearance of Marijuana, and drug paraphernalia were seized,” Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office spokesperson Maureen Parenta said in a statement. Authorities executed the raid after a ten-month-long investigation. Police allege that Hynief distributed marijuana to an undercover cop on two occasions last summer, in June and July. Hynief was held on $50,000 bail, but Juelz tweeted on Saturday that the rapper had been freed. “A! @HYNIEFSKULLGANG bailed out #whoooaaaaa,” he wrote . An officer at the Bergen County Jail confirmed to MTV News that Hynief had been released. The prosecutor’s office didn’t directly reference Juelz Santana, but the MC apologized on Twitter for missing an appearance in Chicago due to legal drama. “If it ant 1 thing it’s another, smh. Sorry to all the people in chi-town that came out last night I couldn’t make It!! Trouble wit the law,” he tweeted . The raid happened the same day that Santana was forced to skip an MTV News RapFix Live reunion interview with his Dipset brethren, citing a skin issue. A representative for Juelz did not respond to MTV News’ request for comment at press time. Related Artists Skull Gang

‘I read the script. It’s a really, really cool story,’ actor tells MTV News at Sundance. By Aly Semigran Liam Hemsworth Photo: MTV News Not since the adaptations of the “Harry Potter” and “Twilight” sagas has there been as much buzz surrounding the casting of a beloved book headed for the big screen as there is right now for “The Hunger Games.” While most of the talk has been around who will play the story’s heroine, Katniss ( Hailee Steinfeld , Chloe Moretz and Elle Fanning are just a few of the actresses rumored to be vying for the part), many fans are wondering who will be cast as Katniss’ Hunger Games partner (and possible love interest) Peeta. MTV News caught up with Liam Hemsworth at the Sundance Film Festival on Saturday (January 22), and it turns out the actor hasn’t just had his name thrown in the ring for consideration: He’s already read the script. “I read the script,” said the 21-year-old star, who was in Park City to go snowboarding with his older brother, actor Chris Hemsworth. “It’s a really, really cool story.” The actor, known to many as Miley Cyrus’ ex-boyfriend , expressed interest in the film, adding, “I love action … gritty kinda stuff like that.” For fans worried that the PG-13 adaptation will tone down the action in the book, Hemsworth said, “It’s super-dark. It’s all young kids in these Hunger Games, which are crazy, insane things.” Hemsworth, who described the project as “definitely something different,” says he could “possibly” see himself taking on the role of Peeta. While he hasn’t yet met or auditioned for the film’s director, Gary Ross, he told MTV, “I mean, it’s pretty early right now. … But, yeah, I’m sure I’ll meet [him] on it soon.” For young Hollywood news, fashion and “Twilight” updates around the clock, visit HollywoodCrush.MTV.com .
