Law enforcement officials tell us Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Carter Jr., was arrested near Yuma, Arizona last night on three felony counts: possession of dangerous drugs, possession of narcotics and possession of drug paraphernalia. Cops tell TMZ that the Drug Enforcement Agency was involved in the arrest -- which means it's a big deal! We're told Lil Wayne's tour bus went through a US Border Patrol checkpoint when the narcotics were allegedly found, that's when the DEA was called in.

Wayne is currently in the custody of the Yuma County Sheriff's Department, where he'll be held pending his arraignment at 9:00 AM PT.

Wayne was arrested in Idaho last year for felony possession of drugs.

2. You have to be making money. why are you fooling with drugs. Makes no sense. Ia am willing to bet it was the people he was assosiated with. Johnny law will always get the big name to make an example. Oh well.

6. Some are fond of saying that fame and fortune aren't enough, when it's actually the contrary- I think it's too much for many "celebrities" who need some kind of stimulant or downer to help them cope with not being a normal human being.


Or he just likes crack =)

9. Whyyyyyyy?!!! Damn how many celebs have to die from drug overdoses before people get it. But of course nothing is going to happen to him...he'll plead guilty and they'll send him into some drug rehabilitation facility with the Albino Wino, Amy and they'll make sweet music!
