Celebrity Justice
Lil Wayne Arrested in Idaho

Lil WayneUPDATE: As of late Saturday, Lil Wayne is free on $10,000 bond.

TMZ has learned that rapper Lil Wayne was arrested early Saturday morning in Boise, Id.

Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr., was booked into the Ada County Jail by the Boise City Police around 7:30 AM MT this morning. The Sheriff's Department website indicated he was booked on felony charges of being a fugitive.

Boise cops tell TMZ Wayne was arrested immediately following his concert Friday night at Boise's Qwest Arena. We're told he was picked up on a felony warrant out of Fulton County, Ga., for a felony possession of drugs charge. Authorities from Georgia contacted Idaho police and gave them the heads up about the warrant.

Cops tell us he was very cooperative and was arrested without incident. He is now in protective custody pending an arraignment and extradition hearing, which will take place Monday afternoon.

Wayne was previously nabbed in July on a gun charge in New York, and in 2006 he was busted in Atlanta for drug possession.

Calls to Lil Wayne's publicist were not immediately returned. No other information is yet available.

136. Good question!!

Stupidity needs to get lost. 9/11 was our wake-up call. .

Seems like when illegals and our borders became our task at hand-someone threw slavery in the mix too.

Weird?

137. America, America, Amarica!!! Black, White, Black, White!!! Divided!!!! Am may went to jail for crimes he commit or crimes the justice system will have to prove he commit, the same justice system who tried O.J, Sen Craig, Foley, Martha Stewart, Isiah Thomas any many others in the past and many to come, whats up with all the racist remarks??? For what i can see 'some' rappers pride themselve as being thugs and should expect to receive what thugs usually get... What about Senators to you trust and voted for, white/black/green whatever color, breaking the rules too... Have some of you take the time to read the transcript on the conversation Mark Foley had wth the underage kid?? have some of you who claims the street is one thug safer watch Dateline To catch a preditor lately?? what about this "dirtbag" that's on national television admitting to be a child preditor?? what if he was not white??? Google "a false sense of security" educate yourself its not black and white America its RIGHT & WRONG!!! JUDGING SOMEONE BECAUSE OF THE WAY THEY LOOK IS DANGEROUS AND STUPID!! MOST OF THE TIMES THE ONE'S YOU TRUST BLACK/WHITE/GREEN, IS THE ONES WHO SHOULD NOT BE TRUSTED!!! AND YES I AM WHITE!!!

139. If race is that much of an issue for you people, which clearly it is; because you are ranting and raving like a bunch of lunatics, then clearly it has something to do with your own insecurities... If you're happy with who you are, then someone else's remarks shouldn't offend you!

140. It really amazes me when people read a 3 paragraph article on someone and forms so many opinions. I honestly wish that all who posted a negative comment would do there homework before posting a comment.It is funny to read the comments about Lil wayne and then read the comments of an article about Lindsey Lohan or Brittany Spears. At the end of the day they are all regular people just like you and I who make wrong choices in life sometimes. Believe me when I say I do not promote the wrong doings of either one of the individuals mentioned above but please millions of people get arrested on a daily basis and they dont get this much attention. Get a grip, there is so much more to worry about.

141. I personally do not believe that skin pigment has much to do with intelligence! As far as Lil Wayne goes, if you are a well known star and plan to be in the public eye, well, you take your chances! He had an outstanding warrant and got popped for it! As far as the race card goes, color doesn't change this much either. There is plenty of genocide going on in Africa and other parts of the world perpetrated by people trapped in some very unfortunate situations- of all colors and creeds! Take a look at Rwanda if you don't believe me! In Europe is was that Hitler nutjob! White, black, tan, brown, whatever! I don't care if you're Robert Blake, OJ Simpson ( who I do believe was at the very least was partially set up for this last incident), Phil Spector, or G.W. Bush, If you do the crime, be prepared to pay the consequences! Sounds like pain old stupidity was the major contributing factor here!

142. 137# thats the best you could come up with? why dont i just leave?even if i did leave it wouldnt change american history.the millions of people in other contries hate america. all of what i wrote is true and you cant handle the truth. if i went back to africa it would do no good. the whites run africa too.they raping africa of her diamonds and forcing africans to dig for those diamonds.so all the rich and famous can be like bling bling.im done with this subject i know that all white people arent racist.i will continue to love my fellow man whatever race he may be.

144. Thank you babygirlwade for clarifying the #! I was pretty sure that the comment was not so much aimed at me! If people continue an with all this hatred, this world is simply doomed. If we end up with Earth becoming a charred ember in space, I do think color would matter that much anymore- because we'll ALL be dead! And I will NEVER buy another diamond again! Peace!

145. So what lil wayne does drugs, what you never have? You've never broken the law?? A lot of people do way worse things then drugs. Cops should be worried about murderers, rapists, and thieves. Leave the "rappers and thugs" out of it they aren't hurting anyone

146. I'm glad to see our system is up and running in all jurisdictions!!!!!!!!! No matter what the criminal has done.

Will help to keep us all safer. Also might help the ones that have a problem with following the laws of our land -think twice- BEFORE they break them!

147. For Racism Always Sucks...

This world has been doomed for a long time, and it's getting worse & worse everyday when idiots posts garbage like this. I just wish it wasn't so easy for ppl to just sit & type trash like this all the while being safe & annonymous. I just I knew who some of these ppl were & where they lived. lol

148. All the talk around here ( Boise) is about those who had tickets and got stiffed on Sat night, They ( all of um! lmao) were calling the jail all night long mad as hell asking if the concert was there now or were they going to let him out in time..
I bet his friends hanging out waiting until Tuesday must be going nuts here and wanting to get the heck out in a bad way too.
I got a feeling he may be taking the old jail bus to Georgia and not the Benz.
I dont believe he can be bonded out untill he gets to where he is wanted. Could be wrong though.

149. A teardrop tattoo means damn near anything these days, anything from having served prison time to losing a friend/family member to violence to having commited murder(s) to stupid ass fad to God only knows what else! Although, the main meaning is still that they've served time in prison. An old friend was (possibly still is) in a gang and has one for prison time. Oh, and no...he's not black. Racist fools. BTW, I have a gang tatt, but have never been in a gang. I didn't even know what it meant.

150. It is so funny to me how every story can turn into a Black vs. White thing, instead of a Right vs. Wrong thing. He did something wrong, he should face consequences for his actions...END OF STORY! But its almost hilarious that everytime a rapper does something oh he's a thug, and needs to be off "OUR" streets and they some how get the distinction of being the image or perception of their race. But when a rock star does the same thing HE is just held accountable for HISSELF not his entire race. I'm so sick of all the racist people in the world ...there are about give or take 20 or 30 rappers in the industry at any given time, so that small percentage doesn't represent ME OR ANYONE I KNOW. They represent theirselves as do their actions.
