Ike: I Froze My Ass Off with a Banana & a Cookie

After spending the night locked in a freezing cold jail cell with nothing to eat but a banana and a cookie, 75-year-old Ike Turner is sounding off about his bogus arrest over a recalled 1989 warrant.

In an exclusive interview with TMZ, Turner claims that he wasn't entirely sure if there was a warrant out for his arrest when cops stopped him last night, and admitted that he complied with officers because, "They could have been right!"

Ike left in his jail issue, but plans to return soon to retrieve his $5000 suit.

20. No Ike fan here but have to ask those who question. What do you think would have happened if Ike did not complie with the cops? hum? The poor dumb azz didnt even know to trade the cookie for a blanket!

21. This is not a racial issue. If one is arrested on a warrant the police do not care if you cry foul play. It's not their job to work that out. You go to jail & sadly It's worked out from there. It happens to innocent people every day. Please don't confuse my statement with Ike being an innocent victim. He most likely rolled on someone, someone rolled back.

23. Even Imus wouldn't resort to the obvious banana reference. If you have to be racist - at least be original!

25. #1...Paris) Not unexpected BUT totally wrong. Big $$...big BITCH...big JOKE!
#2...Melinda) SHOCKER is too understated. The BEST two are gone & so should the
entire show be.
#3...Ike)......."LOSER" is too kind. Tina should have done a hit job on that bozo long
ago when he tried to overshadow her as well as brutally abuse her.

27. Sounds strange but Ike Turner is a senior citizen. Looks as if seniors would be placed together for their own safety.
