Lil Wayne Busted With Drugs at Border Checkpoint

The rapper Lil Wayne was arrested on three felony drug charges after federal agents found illegal drugs, including cocaine, on his charter bus at a checkpoint in southwestern Arizona. He was released from jail shortly after paying his $10,185 bail amount. He has not been formally charged with anything yet and his next court date is scheduled for Jan 25th, where he will find out if the Yuma county attorney will file charges.

He faces charges of possession of dangerous drugs, narcotics, and drug paraphernalia. The drugs found with him included 4 ounces of marijuana, 41 grams of Ecstacy, and over an ounce of cocaine and drug paraphernalia. Also, a .40-caliber pistol that is registered to Lil Wayne was found, who has a concealed weapons permit in Florida.
