Lil Wayne Arrested

According to multiple sources, Lil Wayne (born Dwayne Carter Jr.) has had yet another run in with the law. Last night (Tuesday, January 22nd), Wayne was arrested near Yuma, Arizona on three felony counts for possession of dangerous drugs, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of narcotics.

Details are sketchy at this time but it seems that the tour bus Lil Wayne was on was pulled over and searched by US Border Patrol, who found narcotics on board. Border Patrol reportedly alerted the DEA and Wayne was arrested. He is currently being held in custody by the Yuma County Sheriffs Department. According to the Yuma Sun, Yuma County Sheriffs spokesman Capt. Eben Bratcher said that Wayne was booked into county jail at 6am by the DEA. His arraignment was scheduled for 9am PST today.

Lil Wayne ran into a similar incident last year for felony possession of drugs in Idaho.

UPDATE:

It seems that the DEA search that led to Lil Waynes arrest turned up an abundance of drugs. According to the Yuma Sun, Lil Waynes tour bus contained 105 grams of marijuana, 29 grams of cocaine and ecstacy. A DEA Spokeswoman confirmed the reports of Wayne being arrested as well as two other unidentified members of his entourage at 11:30pm Tuesday night (January 22nd).
