Arrest Warrant issued in Arizona for Lil Waynes arrest

Even if Weezy is currently serving a one year sentence in New York, officials in Yuma County, Arizona, have just issued an arrest warrant for the rapper due to a court date he missed yesterday. Lil Wayne was arrested early 2008 when DEA agents searched his tour bus and found pills, a pistol, just over a quarter pound of weed & a ounce of cocaine.

He is expected to be released from Riker’s Island on December 4th, 2010 . He will then have to report to Arizona and enter his plea for his charges in Arizona and he will highly likely be put back in jail by summer 2011. Arizona does not play, they are one of the strictest states period on breaking the law. If he gets convicted in Arizona he will likely receive a 3 year sentence for that much cocaine and be out in like 2014. By then all the little teeny boppers that worship  Lil wayne will have grown up by then and moved on. Either way Lil Waynes problems are far from over when he leaves Rikers Island.

Lil Wayne will not go to Jail Until Monday

Lil Wayne will not be going to jail today dude’s check-in date was just pushed back again for the 3rd time!!!

If you’ve been following the saga, Wayne was originally supposed to go to jail a few weeks ago … but the judge cut him a break so the rapper could swap out his diamond teeth for a less expensive set.

Then he was supposed to check in yesterday, until a fire broke out in the courthouse and everyone was sent home.

Now, the judge has decided to once again push back Wayne’s court date so more repairs can be made to the courthouse.

According to the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, Wayne will be back on Monday unless some other crazy, unexpected thing delays the case again.

According to legal documents, obtained by RadarOnline.com, Filby claims the 2006 single — featured on Tip’s King LP — has the “same rate of harmonic range” and states the two recordings have “nearly identical instrumental melodic lines in terms of pitch, shape, and rhythm.”

Filby is requesting a jury trial against TI, real name Clifford Harris, Jr., and seeks damages and profits derived from the song.

TI is currently in a halfway house near his home in Atlanta, Georgia after serving less than a year behind bars for weapons possession. When it rains it pours for T.I
