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 Sheriff’s Department. According to the Yuma Sun, Yuma County Sheriff’s 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.
