Convicted rapper Lil Wayne can’t seem to avoid run ins with the law. Wayne, real name Dwayne Carter, and 11 members of his entourage were detained by a Texas border patrol late yesterday evening, according to TMZ.com. He wasn’t arrested but he is not free to go just yet (at the time of this post).
Border patrol agents tell TMZ a random spot check turned up bags of kush on two tour buses, but no drugs were found on Weezy’s person or on any of his entourage. No arrests have been made.
Wayne’s bus was pulled over by border patrol in the tiny hamlet of Falfurrias — roughly 100 miles from the Mexican border. As usual, an officer smelt weed and the search was on for the source of the sweet aroma. Members of law enforcement who need to pad their arrest stats routinely pull over tour buses of rappers now. I mean, it’s a given that weed and/or unregistered weapons will be found on board a rapper’s tour bus.
Wayne was convicted on weapons charges earlier this year and sentenced to a year in prison. He is to begin serving his sentence in February, 2010. But if he’s arrested in Texas, he may be entering the prison system sooner than he expected.
