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.

151. Hey at least he didn't resist. Who are all of you to speak of someone who came from a hard life. Have you ever been to the 9th ward? When it was there? and Now? This could of happen to anyone of us.... why be ignorant in the matter. I don't condone what he has done, he could have probably done this before he became famous and just got caught. Look at Paris Hilton and Lindsey Lohan. They can't stay out of jail for stupid, negligent stuff. Stop pointing fingers.

155. I had to get in on the convo in here. I couldn't stop laughing for about 10 minutes. Purely funny. It's just so funny how JEALOUSY is the merit with most of the race card comments. It's just hilarious to see comments about fried chicken and 40's. It just shows how very far back YOU are with our culture. Its like you're lost in a time warp!!!!! LMBAO!! I deal with people like y'all (that's right-- y'all) everyday. You can't shut up your mouth about black people, especially men because of pure jealousy. That's usually where haterd stems from in the first place. I have white kids like you look at me up and down like their better than me, only to have the last laugh when I'm paying for their meal at Ruth's Chris Steak House, because I'm holding a seminar that is going to determine whether they will be admitted into my residency program. Im only 29 y.o. Please, instead of worrying about us, you all need to refocus your energy because you guys are falling off---and way behind!! Oh yeah, Lil' Wayne will be out making another mil' in about 2-3 months!!! LMAO!!

156. I am the attorney who was able to get Lil Wayne out of the Boise jial. I started working on this case October 6 --- the day of his arrest. What I found in the case is that the ORIGINAL attorney (who was paid a sizeable fee) never entered his name as Mr. Carter;s attorney. PLUS, the notice sent to Mr. Carter by the Clerk of Court was RETURNED to the court as "not delivered". He had no idea he was going to be arrested that night. In 2006, his enetrtainment attorney (based in California) had received word from the Fulton DA's office that the charges were dismissed.

Those are the facts, if facts matter to you.

At his hearing in Atlanta on Thursday, these facts wil be revealed.

157. All of you are obviously ignorant. You white people have ABSOLUTELY nothing to say when little white kids shooting up schools, George Bush in office, or all the millions of trailor trash living in middle America. No one says anything about rock bands condeming the world to hell, but all of you are are fascinated by a culture that you know nothing about. All you want to see is another black man in jail. America is one of the most racist countries in the world. Black people are designed to fail. And when black kmen make money off of rapping and making music (plus WHITE PEOPLE buy most of hte albums..so blame your children for the rapper's income) that people enjoy. For you to call somebody a thug without knowing anything about them then I can call you people RACIST BASTARDS..without having second thoughts. Have a nice day!
