US rappers Ja Rule and Lil Wayne have been arrested on charges of carrying illegal firearms in New York.
What should be a big music celebration turned into nightmare for and . The fellow hip hop stars were arrested Sunday night July 22nd at almost the same time and place, both for possession of .40-caliber pistols.
The best-selling rappers were arrested Sunday night shortly after Lil Wayne's concert at the Beacon Theatre, where Ja Rule made a surprise guest appearance singing together their hit "Uh Oh". According to the explanation given by a spokesperson for the New York Police Department it is said that Ja Rule was stopped for speeding at 10:30 p.m. A further search conducted by the authority found out his 2004 Maybach luxury car had no insurance and a suspended registration.
Besides, police also "detected a strong odor of marijuana," and to make matter worse they later discovered a loaded .40-caliber semiautomatic gun from the rear driver's-side door. Shortly thereafter at 11:30 p.m. Lil Wayne was arrested while dressing in a tour bus near the Beacon Theater. In further search, police officers smelled marijuana and found a bag that contained a loaded .40-caliber handgun.
Hence, both Ja Rule and Lil Wayne were charged with criminal possession of a weapon and marijuana. The judge set bond at $150,000 for Ja Rule, and $70,000 for Lil Wayne. They are facing up to four years in prison if convicted.
