Lil' Wayne Arrested on Drug Charges

Wednesday January 23, 2008

Lil Wayne was arrested earlier today on three counts of felony drug charges, according to the Associated Press. The 25-year-old rapper, born Dwayne Carter Jr., was arrested, alongside two other men, at a Border Patrol checkpoint near Yuma by Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).

A search of his tour bus by the agents unearthed four ounces of marijuana, just over an ounce of cocaine, 41 grams of Ecstacy, and various drug paraphernalia, according to DEA spokesperson Ramona Sanchez. Wayne may face charges of possession of dangerous drugs, narcotics and drug paraphernalia. He's due back in court on Friday.

Wow, here we go again. Lil Wayne needs help if nothing else. I’ve known for a while that he is a real live junkie. Why? Here’s why, notice in the majority of his photos or public apperences he has a cup of something to drink, a definate sign of a person with a sick drug problem ie,,, coke and e-pills. He’s our Brittany Spears!!!!!!!

(24) Donnie says:

Really Matt, stabbed in the throat, waste of human life… what a douche bag thing to say or wish for someone. Ever thought that maybe your the waste of human life? Just because you don’t like his style of music doesn’t mean a damn thing. I mean, i don’t like the Jonas Brothers as much as I’m sure you do, but I don’t think they are a waste of human life. I do however think you are you making a comment like that one though.
