Lil Scrappy has been arrested for violating his probation.

TMZ reports that the Atlanta, Georgia rapper was arrested in his hometown on Monday (October 1).

Scrappy was on probation for a 2008 marijuana conviction, and was sentenced to five years probation.

He was ordered to abstain from the use or possession or any alcoholic beverages or illegal drugs, to complete an alcohol/rug education program, and to perform 240 hours of community service.

Scrappy was also arrested for carrying a concealed weapon, obstruction of officers, and fighting at the same time as the marijuana arrest. He was sentenced to a one-year probation for each offense, which ran concurrently.
