Lil' Wayne Detained By Border Agents Over Drug Bus

By PopEater Staff Posted Dec 19th 2009 08:27AM

Lil' Wayne got into a bit of trouble Friday night when he and his crew were briefly detained by border patrol agents who found marijuana on one of the rapper's tour buses. According to reports, the buses were stopped about 90 miles east of Laredo, where he was slated to perform Friday night. That show was postponed.

It's unclear why they were stopped, but drug dogs smelled pot on one of the buses, and Lil' Wayne and 11 members of his entourage were questioned and released without arrests being made, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

TMZ was first to report the drug dust-up. The star's manager and agent have not commented on the incident.

Perhaps he should travel by rail. Lil' Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Carter, pleaded guilty in October to attempted criminal possession of a weapon in New York, a charge that stemmed from a 2007 traffic stop of his tour bus.

His plea deal calls for a year in jail in that case. Sentencing is scheduled for February.

Looks like this Kat hasn't learned his lesson. Perhaps if he spoke to Snoop Dog he would know that attempting to pass drugs through any borders especially the Laredo Texas border is not a good idea. Lesson learned? Probably NOT..

Back in 1998 we were driving across Texas and in the middle of nowhere between Corpus Christi and Rockport, there was a border partol setup in the desert. Just this past September going back to Vegas from a side trip to the Grand Canyon, there was a border patrol setup on top of the Hoover Dam. Just because their name is border patrol does not mean they have to stay within a couple of miles of the border.

By Jack

Apparently you don't understand that the border patrol doesn't only have agents at the border. They ALWAYS have agents at the border and miles away. In California they can easily be 50 to 100 miles inland from the border. That's routine and to be expected.

By chris

There is a major checkpoint in Falfurrias. Lots of agents and drug dogs.

FYI, the border patrol is part of homeland security and they are in the interior and the border. BTW, they are some of my best customers.

I wish they would have found more drugs in his bus. Then we could get his ugly ass and his Thug crew the hell off this planet. He's an ugly thug and he has no music talent unless your 12 years old.

By kescha

First of all he is not ugly, and second of all why is everybody on this man DIC_? Let him live his life he can do what he want he have the money and talent. Once people start getting them some or a career going on for themselves maybe everyone will understand. Hell those superstars get tired like ous and they live a normal life like ous, so some people need to understand some of these peoples problems. It's not okay about the drugs, but hey he is a normal person with a career like the next person.

so, why do u want him to go to jail for having some pot?

By The Cracker

WHY is the US Border Patrol stopping USA registered buses 90 miles from the border that are heading toward the border? An especially if there's several of them running together-more than likely with graphics tauting the tour? Where's the outrage over the government stopping US citizens? Too many of our rights were given away after 9/11. Feel safe now?

FYI cracker,
they were headed north, they dont stop cars going south at that checkpoint

By Tim

SHUT-UP!!!

By Ray

He was stopped cuz he went through a checkpoint... Thats what they do at checkpoints.... look for illegal immigrants and drugs.. They werent picking on him.. anyone who passes through the checkpoint goes through that. He just thought he was above the law, and got a little taste of reality. Nothing wrong with a little ganja, or alot of it in this case, he was just stupid about it.....
