Lil Wayne Arrested in Idaho

Posted Oct 6th 2007 2:50PM by TMZ Staff

UPDATE: 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.

62. lol John (the second poster) said that Lil' Weezy should be called lil IQ boy...and then proceeded to call him a "fugative"...only in America's heartland can a moron call out some person's intelligence, and then only two words later spell a three-syllable word incorrectly - the pathetic-ness of which is only magnified by the fact that the word fugitive is written in the middle of the article...

...Lil' Weezy is the best rapper alive....

63. for all you who didnt read the article, you idiots his charge was fom GA not Idaho, and so if the fulton county police hadnt informed your pd they wouldnt have thought twice about him...funny how you dont like what he's about or any black person for that matter, when your teens try so hard to be like us...get a grip folks he was there doing a show that your kids paid to go see so apparently they like him

64. So obvious how many black racists there are in the USA - hate it seems mainly for themselves & the black community - then non-black 2nd. Lil in your town behind bars is lovely news for all - peace & love should be the tune of choice with a side order of mom & dad in the house & family fun.

67.
I'm not sure what race has to do with anything, The guy had a warrant out and was picked up!
You think the jail just has him in it?
also from what I have read the racial comments are about 50/50 towards each other, just as it is in real time.

70. Agree race should not be an issue - clearly he has broke the law & may have again - part of the romance that too many blacks & others love in their celebs.

Personally - I'm a fan of no one on earth - makes life easier to tune into spiritual endeavors. Lil boy will get his.

73. SOME OF YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE. FOR ONE, HE WAS IN IDAHO PERFORMING AND THE COPS IN GEORGIA GAVE THE COPS IN IDAHO A HEADS UP TO ARREST HIM BECAUSE HE WAS A FUGITIVE. IF YOU WANT TO SPEAK NEGATIVELY ABOUT HIM, SPEAK ABOUT HIM ALLEGEDLY BEING A FUGITIVE, NOT ABOUT HIM BEING A RAPPER. COME ON PEOPLE, LET'S NOT SHOW THE WORLD THAT RACISM AND PROFILING ARE AS COMMON AS FOOTBALL. LET'S NOT FORGET THAT THE FIRST THUGS/ GANGSTERS WERE OF THE CAUCASIAN PERSUASION...NOW REACH OUT TO HIM AND TELL HIM TO PUT HIS MONEY TO BETTER USE. IF YOU WOULD ACTUALLY LISTEN TO HIS MUSIC, YOU WILL SEE THAT HE'S QUITE THE INTELLECTUAL... LUV YA LIL WEEZIE
