The police arrested newly-weds Grammy winning rapper T.I. and his wife Tameka Dianne Cottle, after they were allegedly found in possession of a controlled substance.
The couple was arrested in California late on Wednesday during a traffic stop when a cop smelled the odour of marijuana coming from their car, according to the police, TMZ reported.
The arrest isn’t the first for the 29-year-old rapper, whose real name is Clifford Joseph Harris. In 2008, he was sentenced on charges of unlawfully possessing firearms. The charges followed an arrest by federal agents a year earlier while T.I. was buying three machine guns in the parking lot of an Atlanta grocery store. T.I. was released after serving nine months in prison.

‘Marijuana found in Hilton’s car’
Las Vegas: A police officer reported finding the butt of what he believed was a marijuana cigarette in a vehicle driven by Paris Hilton’s boyfriend after a traffic stop on the Las Vegas Strip.
A report made public on Thursday shows 34-year-old nightclub mogul Cy Waits failed field sobriety tests before his arrest late on Friday. Waits spent a night in jail on suspicion of misdemeanour driving under the influence.
He’s free on $2,000 bail. A criminal case has not yet been filed. Hilton was arrested on a felony cocaine possession charge after a police lieutenant says a bag containing 0.8 grams of cocaine fell out when she reached into a purse for a tube of lip balm. —AP
