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.

91. I raised Wayne to respect all people. Thus, Wayne appeals to a wide audience. Hello

dude he is in Idaho to get paid. Guess the demographic of his audience. It is 95.5% of?

So, no cowboy race you baiting SOB will keep him down. He was an angel at the

orphanage and, nothing has change since. Thank you so very much.

P.S. why don't you serve your typical hill food of racoon and turnips

92. Hilarious 99-100 - racist & low-IQ funny - 75% of black kids out of wedlock & 92% black on black dead & 40% dropout rate - caucasian & asian & hispanics are the reason right? I do my part by sneaking some black kitty at times - peace & love!

93. 104 - outstanding racism @ its best! Too many black kids love to spend it all on "bling & sing" race-based, whereas the white teens you mention take in all genre of performers because they have earned it & can afford to spend it affluently ... so a bit of Lil is easy to afford - an amusing "artist" because smart kids love diversity. Is that too caucasian or asian for you?

94. All of you have little brains. In New Orleans, the tears are for how many people he has killed. Same as if he had dots on his hands. Secondly, he was not a fugitive from Idaho if you actually READ the story, he was a fugitive in Georgia and Idaho cops picked him up for theGA. As for the streets being safer...please, he carries a gun and smokes blunts...big deal, half of Lousiana does that and we are no worse off than any other place...get a life!

96. Surprise, surprise, surprise. Another thug rapper goes to jail. Go figure. Trying to legitimize there crap by trying to convince people that they have talent. RAP rhymes with CRAP for a reason. No talent required. Try getting a rapper to actually sing, and then see how talented they really aren't.

99. If the poverty programs of the 1960's were allowed to succeed, We wouldn't have all of this

crime now. But, I guess you red knecks won't evil to prevail and not peace. You all won't

be happy until the Earth perish in a nuclear holocaust. Lil Wayne needs the love of our

American society for guidance to a rightous path.

100. #15 your comment is as ignorant as you are! You know what is also hard to believe?
that the standard profile for serial killers is a white male! There are other names also, such as pedophile (child molester), rapist, bank robber, in bred, the list goes on and on.
So the next time you want to call a black mother a whore or her child a bastard... think about your mama! Now crawl back under the rock you came from and tell you mother to move over and share the covers!!!! How do you like that? Jerk!

You people that sit here and talk about how the streets will be better...and who has tears on their face and all this blah blah blah...Lil wayne gets his money, he don't need anyone of you to support him cuz he has many people that support him and are not ignorant...a lot of you need to get a life, and LH said...the streets are better cuz child molesters are getting caught up...wake up and watch the news there are other things in the world going on, you people that are hatin' ....find something interesting to do...its the people that hate rappers that make them more famous, cuz some of you are wasting your time reading about him in the first place ha ha losers!!!

103. you mean pretty blonde girl you spelled are wrong its OUR! Oh and another thing why do some white people thrive off of ignorance, I mean sure he's a loser thug with played out rhymes if you can call them rhymes but I'm going to have to agree with L.H and watch dateline ninety nine percent of the men who come to their little set up are white and I'm not saying blacks dont do it because some do but if you can hopefully see where I'm going with this is that it's not always black. the sooner you realize this the better for everyone.
