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.

77. RE: AMW 559 #37

This white woman and her white husband LOVE LOVE LOVE The Lakers!
I miss Shaq, Robert Horry and yahhooo - Derek Fischer is back! My husband goes beyond "worship" with regard to his Lakers - he wants no disturbances when watching the game at home. You can hear him cheering, and or booing about what is going on with the game, that he can be heard from 2 blks away!
We spend $$$ to see as many games as able.
I could go on about other venues, music, food, that we pay $$ having to do with black people, but I think I have made my point.
So you are 100% right - love the contributions that black americans have given to this white couple!

78. 62. Why the f**K does it matter what color you are?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Uh, because in the latest FBI crime statistics just released, Blacks make up 13% of the population but over 50% of the entire Country's murders.

Its not Racist, just a Statistic.

Black people feel safer around White People because the BOB crime rate is something like 5 times higher than the rate of White on White crime. And White on Black crime is so low it barely made the report.

When it comes to crime, Color does matter and we all know it. Doesnt mean you cant be around Black people, employ them, nor associate with them, just means you're more likely to be a victim of crime if it involves a Black person than a Hispanic, Asian or White person.

Nothing hard to understand about that..it is what it is for its own reasons, not because people are racist or haters.

Do please read the book by Black author, Juan Williams "Enough" if you have any questions as to why it continues.

The Rapper in question here, was arrested like anyone else would be if it was discovered a warrant exisited. How he chooses to make a living is his business. We cant purchase his music or not. However, when it comes to outstanding warrants, Police never overlook them when they are found, irregardless of Color.

83. THANK YOU #"s 48 & 57. Your comments define exactly what I was trying 2 say. White people always have something to say about blacks, but it's their kids or maybe even them personally that support our black entertainers they hate so much. I think its more of jealousy than racism. ENVY IS A ILLNESS...GET WELL SOON!!!!

86. People please - we must grow beyond the racism of blacks toward themselves & others. 92% of black homocides by blacks. Lil promotes that in his "lyrics". And now Latino's rapid growth is seen as a major threat by too many blacks - MLK was right - peace now is the answer!

88. First of all robert e lee Afro American's are not the only one's that have babies out of wed-lock. I work for the system and that's all you mostly see is white people with children born out of wed-lock . #3 needs a reality check why will the streets be safer because he's in jail?? Have you watch the predator catcher's those's are the one's that needs to be put away,The priest that are molesting the little kids needs to be in jail. I am a fan of Lil Weezy and I am praying for him. At least I can say one thing about him, He isn't a DEAD BEAT DAD. I give this man major credit for stepping up and taking care of his daughter at such a young age. Can't find to many like him. The Good Outweigh's The Bad. Lil Weezy keep your head up & God Bless You. Only God Can Judge!!
