Lil' Wayne Indicted On Felony Drug & Weapons Charges

Following his arrest in Arizona last month, Lil' Wayne has been indicted on felony drug and weapons charges and is due back in court in three weeks.

As previously reported, Wayne was arrested on Tuesday, Jan. 22 in Yuma County, Ariz. after a Border Patrol dog alerted agents to the presence of illegal drugs on his bus. A search of the vehicle turned up 105 grams of marijuana, 29 grams of cocaine, 41 grams of ecstasy and $22,000 belonging to the rapper.

TMZ reported that officials also found a .40-caliber pistol registered to Wayne, who has a concealed weapons permit in Florida.

According to the Associated Press, Lil Wayne has pleaded not guilty to one count each of four charges: possession of a narcotic drug for sale, possession of dangerous drugs, misconduct involving weapons and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Weezy is currently on tour, but is due back in court on March 7.

This latest arrest is the last in a string of brushes with the law for Wayne - real name Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr. In the past two years alone he has been arrested three times on drug charges, including this incident and once on gun charges.

In related news, Weezy said he is taking his time with his long-anticipated album Tha Carter III but promises fans it will be worth the wait.
