Los Angeles - American rapper TI (29) has been arrested on Hollywood's Sunset Boulevard on suspicion of illegal drug possession, police said Thursday.
Officers stopped a car in which the rapper was a passenger after discerning a strong smell of marijuana coming from the vehicle. TI, whose real name is Clifford Harris Jr, was booked for possession of a controlled substance and released on bail of 10,000 dollars. Also arrested was his wife Tameka Cottle, 36, the Grammy-winning singer of R&B group Xscape.
The arrest came just five months after he was released from jail after being sentenced to a year behind bars on weapons charges. The rapper, who has recorded hits such as Whatever You Like and Dead and Gone, is also a budding film star with a role in the heist film Takers, which is currently top of the US box office.
