The Miami-based DJ was stopped by customs officials in December last year when he flew into the city to perform at the Arches.

The music star denied one charge under the Customs and Excise Management Act.

But it emerged today that court proceedings have now been dropped.

A spokeswoman for the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service said: "The Procurator Fiscal at Paisley received a report concerning a 37-year-old man in relation to an incident on 20 December 2008.

"As a result, proceedings were raised at Paisley Sheriff Court.

"However after full and careful consideration of all the facts and circumstances the Procurator Fiscal decided that the proceedings should be discontinued."

The platinum selling artist was behind Reel 2 Real's 1994 dance floor filler and found further success with remixes of songs by Whitney Houston and Basement Jaxx.

Morillo is the co-founder of Subliminal Records and performs DJ sets across the world.
