Rapper T.I. and New Bride Arrested for Drugs

T.I. and wife Tameka Cottle, who were married in a secret Miami ceremony just one month ago, were arrested in LA for alleged possession of a controlled substance, TMZ reports. T.I. is still on probation after a seven-month prison stint on federal weapons charges.

Police sources tell TMZ that LA County sheriff's deputies pulled the 29-year-old hip-hop star over on Sunset Boulevard at 10:30 PM on Wednesday, smelling marijuana. The two were arrested after a search of the car came up with a controlled substance.

T.I. and Tameka were released on $10,000 bail early Thursday morning.

UPDATE: Law enforcement is telling TMZ the substance was a "small amount" of ecstasy and that the pills are being tested.

T.I. and Cottle have two children together. The rapper was released from jail earlier this year and made his big return to the music world last month when he performed live at the 2010 BET awards.

It wasn't a smart move for him to have dope in his possession during probation. He'll get punished......but its not like he shot someone.

He has an ugly wife no wonder he was smoking weed.

Wow, How could this be cRappers are such great role models!

By Ruxton

Smoke it in the privacy of your home. Cops are similar to the Gustapo these days & if you are in a high profile life, you are really a target.

By chopperpitt

LEGALIZE IT!!!!

anyone who sees celebrities as a role model for kids should get busy parenting their own children and stop leaving it up to the people on tv and on radio .god help you all!

By Darrin Gindratt

I think that this story was a big waste of time. I only Read this story because I wanted to see who it was. You made it seem like it was a huge amount of drugs & it turned out to be a small amount of weed for their own use. So please get over it.

Nothing wrong with this. Genesis 1:29 says it all. And for all you non-friendly plant people, cannabis is an herb, with seeds.

I pray for the both of u, they have children and they need to be setting a good example for their children. TI your younger fans are looking up to u so what message is this telling them. I not going to judge u because I dont know whats going on with u. I pray u go get help and be a positive role model for your children and family and your fans. Everyone is watching what u are doing. U still a great entertainer to me, but stop what u r doing. Its time to grow up and do positive not negative. Sending love to u and your wife. A BIG FAN FOR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love u!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He must have limited intelligence. Obviously he is on parole for the 7 month stint he just did. Who in their right mind would violate parole by driving down Sunset under the influence AND in possession of illegal substances:):):) Effing IDIOTS:):) Throw the book at the loser again. Like an earlier post said send the p**ssy loser to Iraq and let him learn how to be a man.
