Cops: Lil' Wayne Had a Lot O' Dope!

Posted Jan 23rd 2008 2:37PM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has learned rapper Lil' Wayne has been hit with some big time charges -- possession of cocaine, possession of ecstasy and possession of drug paraphernalia. Make it rain!

Wayne, real name Dwayne Carter, was arrested with two others who have been charged with possession of marijuana. Cops say they found 105 grams of marijuana, 29 grams of cocaine and 41 grams of ecstasy pills on his tour bus -- after they stopped at a Border Patrol checkpoint.

Police also found $22,000 in cash and a 40-caliber pistol, but Wayne, we're told, does have a permit to carry a concealed weapon in the state of Florida. They tell us they're checking to see if that carries over to Arizona.

The judge set his bond at $10,000. He should be released in a lil' while.

1.

Bag him and tag him. He's done. He was caught in Arizona and they don't usually cotton to people who traffic in drugs down there.

4. Isn't $10k a little low for charges of that magnitude? You'd think with that amount of drugs it would constitute trafficking even though it was probably for personal use.

11. The craziest part of all is that the drugs were probably for personal use for him and his entourage. Ah the life of celebrities!

I doubt that the amount of drugs would give law enforcement jusitification for saying he was trafficking when he wasn't . Some poor sap on the street, sure, but not a wealthy guy who can hire lawyers to refute those charges.

14. first off..#3, you're an idiot with that comment about Heath Ledger.-you have no class unless it's in the last three letters of that word.
a rapper and drugs???? I'm shocked!
When are these people going to understand that it can kill them or if they get out of control they will kill someone else because of their "habits"?
