T.i., Tiny Arrested For Drug Possession in Hollywood

Rap star T.I. could be in serious trouble, after the rapper and his wife Tameka "Tiny" Cottle were arrested in West Hollywood for drug possession. According to reports, T.I. and Tiny were arrested and charged with alleged possession of a controlled substance after police smelled marijuana emanating from their car. The pair, who married last July in Miami, were taken into custody by L.A. County Sheriff Deputies for the infraction. While details are sketchy as of press time, the arrest could impact T.I. greatly. The rapper is currently serving a three-year probation after he pleaded guilty in May of 2009, for attempting to purchase machine guns and silencers before the BET Awards in 2007. T.I., born Clifford Harris Jr., was released from prison in March of 2010.
