Sly Stone, the reclusive funk legend, pleaded not guilty to possession of cocaine rocks on Wednesday.
The 68-year-old frontman for Sly and the Family Stone was arrested April 1 when LAPD pulled him over for a minor traffic violation.
Cocaine rocks were found in the clothing of both Stone, who was a passenger, and the driver, according to the singer's defense attorneys. Both men were arrested.
Stone, whose real name is Sylvester Stewart, is next scheduled to appear in court in Van Nuys for a pretrial conference on July 19. His arraignment was originally scheduled for last Friday, but he was hospitalized for heart problems.
