Bond has been set for recently arrested rapper Lil' Wayne in the amount of $10,185 following a court appearance this morning (Jan. 23).

As previously reported, Wayne was arrested in Yuma County, Ariz. last night (Jan. 22) after a vehicle search uncovered 105 grams of marijuana, 29 grams of cocaine and an unspecified amount of ecstasy.

Weezy was taken to jail on three felony counts: possession of dangerous drugs, possession of narcotics and possession of drug paraphernalia, and as of 2:30 p.m. EST today (Jan. 23) was still in custody.

He appeared in court at 10 a.m. MST via video feed from the Yuma County Detention Center.

A court clerk at the Yuma County Justice Court who asked to remain anonymous told that the rapper is scheduled to appear back in court on Jan. 25 at 10 a.m. MST for a reading of a complaint, due to the fact that he has been booked on pending felony charges.

Update: According to TMZ, police also found a firearm on Weezy's person during his arrest. Along with a .40 caliber pistol, which Wayne reportedly has a permit to carry in the state of Florida, they also found $22,000 in cash. Authorities are currently investigating if his permit to carry a concealed weapon carries over to Arizona.
