Hip hop star Lil Wayne faces three felony drug charges after being arrested on Wednesday at a checkpoint in Arizona. The bus he was riding in got stopped and illegal drugs were found onboard the bus.

Lil Wayne, who was born Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., spent the day in a Yuma County jail before being released on a $10,000 bond. Two other men who were on the bus were also arrested.

Police say they found marijuana, cocaine and ecstasy on the bus, along with more than $22,000 in cash. A .40-caliber pistol was also found that was registered to Lil Wayne, who has a gun permit from the state of Florida.

Lil Wayne is from New Orleans, Louisiana and became famous at a young age as part of Cash Money Records. He dropped his first album in 1999 (“The Block is Hot”) at the age of 17. Lil Wayne has since released four more albums, with another one scheduled to be released in 2008.

This isn’t Lil Wayne’s first brush with the law. In July of 2006, he was arrested in New York. In October of 2007, he was arrested in Idaho.
