Lil Wayne Arrested
Published on January 23, 2008 by James · 6 Comments
Proving there’s no such thing as bad press and that face and neck tattoos make for a killer mug shot, rapper Lil’ Wayne (born Dwayne Michael Carter) was arrested by border patrol at a US Border checkpoint on Interstate 8 in Dateland, AZ, on Tuesday night around 11:30 PM. Drug-sniffing dogs alerted officers that something might be afoot and Wayne’s bus, which was transporting 11 other people, was pulled aside for a consensual search.
Officers found:
29 grams of cocaine
41 grams of ecstacy
105 grams of marjuana
$22,000 in cash
some paraphernalia
Carter faces local possession charges (the feds passed on this one), and two other passengers are looking at narcotics charges. Wayne was released on bail, but has a court date set for Friday morning. In other news, his new album, The Carter III is due out in February.

makes me wonder how much winehouse has on her at any given moment.
lil wayne is cool and he should be aloud to carry guns because of all the idiots out there
People being allowed out after they seized that amount of drugs is shit. Like come on… In real life, someone would never be allowed out if they were caught with that. So what? They spend like 3 hours in jail , and they start crying.
Lil Wayne, yeah I absolutly love you, I’m not going to lie, but thats just horrible having that much . I mean come on , set atleast some sort of good example for all your fans . There is more important things out there than drugs, like your family. Dont get so caught up in everyone elses shit, just to seem better, cus it only makes you look like fuck .
Oh and by the waay, please like perform at the air canada center, for people allowed in, under 19
.. cus me and beth here, are clearly inlove with you!

lil wayne is absolutely amazing. he is the most talented rapper you will ever meet
emma beth jess rach… your clearly not inlove with him and your talking a bunch of shit… first of all fuck air canada and you know nothing about ‘real life’ people that are child rapists and killers get out on bail or probation and seem to do less time. Getting caught with all that regardless of your status or fame dosnt matter.. your going to beable to bail out until your trial date and or conviction. Clearly he will be doing more time. But he is setting a good example for his fans! Hes the fucking man and making money and doing drugs is what he does… For 11 people on a tour bus an ounce of coke is not that much at all… obviosuly occording to the Feds considering they didnt take the case and avoided the negative condentation of the publicity. You probly dont even understand half of the mans lyrics because your a child
