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

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.

17. What he had on him is probably much less than the Mexican truck that was probably right behind him that got through fine, i've been stopped in Yuma because they thought i had drugs, i'm a white girl with a black boyfriend and watch cars full of junk from Mexico drive right on past just showing a id card while my car got searched with nothing in it. it was an easy bust for them, they could have used their efforts to catch someone whos not supposed to be in the country period!

18. The Florida concealed weapon permit is recognized by Arizona so there will not be any weapons charges.

Assuming he doesn't plead the charges down to misdemeanors and becomes a convicted felon then he will forfeit the ability to own weapons (Federal law) and will have his Florida permit revoked.

20. #12 You're shocked? So am I that an actor overdosed on drugs and died!!!!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"?

21. Ha! Border Patrol?? All dat money don't buy no smarts, do it? I hope that dip-wad rots but unfortunately he'll probably just get a slap on the wrist with a little "time served" and maybe some probation. Party like a rap star.

24. #22, I was being facitious about a rapper and drugs. This article is about one person and the writer of comment #3 brought Heath Ledger into this scenario and I thought his/her comments were totally out of line.

26. $10,000.00 dang that's low, my nephew got more than that for just over 1 ounce of weed,, i say no justice no peace, these stars get away with pure murder IT'S NOT FAIR, give him the max lets see if he is really hard send him to JAIL

27. You idiots keep complaining about the bail, but what does the money matter anyway to someone of his financial status? The reason your cousin with a zip gets the same or larger bail is because he is a failure to appear or flight risk. Lil Wayne has a ton of lawyers, you think he is going to not appear or have his legal reps appear?

28. 'lil wayne really knows how to pack for the road trip. he isn't the first to do it. he just happened to get caught. if it wasn't a rapstar they wouldnt even have checked them out prob. i think they call this profiling. let him out!
