Weezy Arrested

Lil Wayne has been arrested in Idaho on a felony fugitive charge after authorities in the state of Georgia accused him of possessing a controlled substance, authorities said.

The 25-year-old rapper, whose real name is Dwayne Michael Carter Jr, was arrested after his concert on Friday at Qwest Arena in Boise.

Because of the type of charge, he was not eligible for bond and probably would not get out of jail to make it to Saturday night's concert.

After his arrest, the jail was bombarded with dozens of angry phone calls from fans, concert promoters and others, said a jail deputy who did not want her name to be used because of the public uproar.

"Every other phone call that we've picked up have been about him - people who have tickets wanting to know where his concert will be, people calling to see if it's true that he's incarcerated," the deputy said.

Lil Wayne is scheduled to be formally charged on Tuesday and will be asked then if he plans to waive his extradition to Georgia, the deputy said.
