Months after his release from a federal prison the rapper T. I., below, was arrested Wednesday night with his wife in Los Angeles on drug charges, The Associated Press reported. T. I., whose given name is Clifford Harris, was pulled over at a traffic stop in West Hollywood and arrested on charges of possession of a controlled substance. A representative for the Los Angeles sheriff’s department told The A.P., “Deputies smelled a strong odor of marijuana emitting from the vehicle,” adding that “a narcotics investigation ensued” resulting in the arrest of T. I. and his wife, Tameka Cottle. They were arrested on suspicion of possessing methamphetamines, a sheriff’s deputy told The A.P., and released from jail at about 4 a.m. Thursday after each posting $10,000 bail. T. I., who is in the action movie “Takers,” remains on probation after pleading guilty to federal weapons charges stemming from a 2007 sting operation in which he was caught receiving three machine guns and two silencers that had been bought for him. After his guilty plea T. I. appeared on an MTV reality series, “T. I.’s Road to Redemption,” in which he warned teenagers about the dangers of guns and violence. He was released from an Arkansas prison in December and from a halfway house in March. Under the terms of his release, he was ordered not to commit another federal, state or local crime and not to illegally possess a controlled substance.
