DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) -- Grammy-winning R&B producer Dallas Austin pleaded guilty Sunday to charges of carrying cocaine into Dubai, and faces up to four years in prison.

The 34-year-old producer from Atlanta, Georgia -- who has created tunes for Madonna, Janet Jackson and Sugababes -- pleaded guilty in a Dubai court to charges of possessing 1.26 grams of cocaine. He will be sentenced Tuesday.

Austin told the judge that he'd made an unintentional mistake and didn't mean to break the law in the United Arab Emirates.


And is there any place in the world where cocaine possesion is legal?
 
At Sunday's hearing, he was accompanied by four attorneys: Mohammad Al Reda of the UAE, Qays Hatem Al Zu'bi of Bahrain, Joel A. Katz of the Atlanta law firm Greenberg Traurig

He must be paying those cats a hefty fee.
