Cops Slap Ike Turner Behind Bars

Ike TurnerTMZ has learned that Ike Turner, ex-husband of Tina Turner, was arrested and locked up late last night on drug-related charges in Los Angeles.

LAPD officers clocked Ike (real name is Izear Luster Turner) at 80 mph in his 2002 Mercedes S-50 on the 405 Freeway. After they pulled him over, cops ran a check and discovered Ike had an outstanding felony narcotics warrant.

The 75-year-old was immediately taken into custody and booked at L.A.'s Twin Towers jail.

Calls to Turner's rep were not immediately returned.

17. Candy - Its easy for you to say!! if someone was bashing your head in everyday and threating to kill you and your kids I'm sure you would do what ever it took to keep your children safe.Men/women who abuse there family the way he did don't care about anything but control and if that means killing the wife for trying to leave alot of them will do it. very sad to say but true!.

21. Ike when are you gonna learn? Good luck, I hope you get out soon and will learn that maturity and reasoning are what keep you from being arrested by the LA cops, which I am sure you found some fault with. Are they still picking on you?

23. Well, Ike, what comes around must go around. You should have been in prison years ago. Let's hope they keep you in there, because that's mild compared to what you really deserve. God bless you, Tina, you're wonderful and you have an amazing voice.

24. Stop being victims.
Ladies, you can't have it both ways. You want to stay with abusive men because you think they can make you a star. Like Bill promised Hill she would be prez one day. So she accepted all his womanizing over the years. He did it bigtime in Arkansas - I know, I lived there and the whole town knew.

If you stay with an abuser for WHATEVER reason, don't expect pity form me. There are government and church programs up the ying-yang for women escaping abusive men. They stay because there is something in it for them.

26. It is pretty interesting to read the comments, which are essentially based on bad info. Tina the majority of the comments are a whiplash response to the movie, What's Love Got To Do With It. It is a drama, folks. Tina is quoted in the initial press, you can track it down yourself, as saying that it was a great movie, but not fair to Ike. Her words, folks. Look it up. Also, this is a court error, big time. The warrant was cleared by the court in 1989, and the PD never followed up. This is not a new case. Get the facts....

27. Wow for all of you who I am sure have never met Ike he is actually a very nice man and a pleasure to spend time with. Speaking without knowledge shows clear when I read that you all slamming a man that served his time for what he did wrong. Shows how true it is that we are a group of followers and not leaders of kind spirits. He that is without sin cast the first stone. Oh by the way that is a quote from the Bible. It does not seem with your comments that you are familiar with God's word. And those questioning success as sweet revenge must not have seen the Grammies this year. hee hee
