Rapper Lil Wayne arrested for drug possession

PHOENIX (Reuters) - Rapper Lil Wayne was arrested for felony drug possession early on Wednesday when his charter bus was stopped at a California-Arizona border checkpoint, authorities said.

Lil Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., was arrested in southwestern Arizona on suspicion of possessing cocaine and ecstasy, as well as drug paraphernalia, authorities said. He was being held in Yuma County Jail on a $10,185 bond.

Two other passengers on the bus, Curtis Stewart and Harold Johnson, were arrested for marijuana possession, said Capt. Eben Bratcher, a Yuma County Sheriff's spokesman.

Border patrol agents stopped the bus at about 11:30 p.m. on Tuesday after a dog alerted them to possible drugs on board, Bratcher said.

The bus, with 12 people on board, had been traveling east from California.

A further inspection found 105 grams (3.7 ounces) of marijuana, 29 grams (1 ounce) of cocaine, 41 grams (1.45 ounces) of ecstasy and more than $22,000, agents said.

Also recovered was a .40 caliber pistol registered to Carter in Florida and authorities were checking to determine whether he broke any gun laws, said Ramona Sanchez, a Drug Enforcement Administration spokeswoman in Phoenix.

This is not the first brush with authorities for Carter, who comes from New Orleans and was proclaimed rapper of the year in August 2007 by The New Yorker magazine.

His previous legal trouble came in July, when he was arrested in New York after being found smoking marijuana and carrying a weapon.

Please oh PLEASE send him to jail...

and cdr @ raum...

hell no, I LURVE tha' Carter. My girl cracks up when "Go DJ" comes on. Anything that gets the babe to smile gets a pass, no matter how repetitive. I just grin and bear it... maybe bust out some "Running Man" or "Roger Rabbit" if we ain't in the car (or at least if I ain't driving).

I say make him do a collab album with Marilyn Manson! If they don't kill each other, what they turn out would be so unholy it would have to be original.

Ha, that used' to be Ra's favorite song when he was like 3...

I'm just saying though, if he goes to jail he may turn out a good album...I still think Tupac's 'Me Against the World' is the best CD he put out...And Wayne's no Pac...I'm just sayin... :D

I still think Tupac's 'Me Against the World' is the best CD he put out...And Wayne's no Pac...
