Lil’ Wayne Arrested on Drug Charges

Few can match Lil’ Wayne in terms of pure mug shot production.

Snoop Dogg and Riley Giles. That’s it. Kumari Fulbright may have the best single celebrity mug shot, but she’s not as prolific as the aforementioned duo.

But that’s another debate. Back to Lil’ Wayne’s most recent run-in with the law, which occurred last night and produced this pair of mug shot gems…

Law enforcement officials say that Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Carter Jr., was arrested near Yuma, Arizona last night on three felony counts:

1. Possession of dangerous drugs
2. Possession of narcotics
3. Possession of drug paraphernalia

No clue how exactly #1 differs from #2, but TMZ says the Drug Enforcement Agency was involved in the troubled rapper’s arrest. That means it’s not a Lil’ Problem - which we hear is the name of Wayne’s cousin.

The rapper is in the custody of the Yuma County Sheriff’s Department, where he’ll be held pending his arraignment at 9:00 a.m. PST. Lil Wayne was arrested in Idaho last year for felony possession of drugs.
