ACT OF PURE IGNORANCE OR SET UP?


According to online reports, rapper T.I., real name Clifford Harris, and his wife, Tiny, real name Tameka Cottle, were arrested in West Hollywood last night and charged with possession of a controlled substance.

T.I. was released from a federal prison in December 2009 where he had been serving a 12-month sentence on weapons charges. The rap star served out his sentence in a halfway house in Atlanta.

He is currently serving a three-year probation after pleading guilty in May of 2009, for attempting to purchase machine guns and silencers before the BET Awards in 2007.

This latest arrest could jeopardize his probation status.

The car the couple was riding in was pulled over after police smelled marijuana emanating from the car. According to a credible source, T.I. and Tiny were the only two arrested though there were others riding in the car with them.

“It sounds like a set up to me,” said the source this morning. “There was a bunch of people in that car. Why just take them two?”

The pair, who married last July in Miami, were taken into custody by L.A. County Sheriff Deputies. It is unclear if they are still in custody.

T.I. and Tiny have two children together, King, 5, and Major Harris, 2. Tiny also has a daughter, Zonnique, 12, from a previous relationship, who is home-schooled.

T.I. currently has the #1 movie in America, Takers, which took in $20.5 million at the box office in its opening weekend.
