Rapper Juvenile Arrested on Pot Charge

Wednesday, February 13th, 2008

(AP) - The rapper known as Juvenile was arrested Tuesday after police pulled him over for an expired tag and found marijuana in his car, authorities said.

Juvenile, a 32-year-old whose real name is Terius Gray, was arrested on misdemeanor marijuana possession after he was stopped on Interstate 20 near Meridian, Lauderdale County Sheriff William Sollie said.

“A small amount of marijuana was seized and he was placed under arrest,” Sollie said.

Juvenile, who lives in New Orleans, was released later Tuesday.

It was not immediately clear whether he had an attorney, and a woman who answered the telephone at a listing for a T. Gray declined to confirm that it was the rapper’s residence.

The rapper, best known for the song “Back That Thing Up,” was headed from Atlanta to New Orleans when his car was pulled over, Sollie said. At least one other person was in the car, but no one else was charged, he said.

Juvenile has been arrested at least four times on charges ranging from failure to pay child support to resisting an officer in a scuffle at a Florida mall in 1999. Most of the charges have been dismissed.

In 2003, he pleaded guilty to felony battery and was sentenced to 75 hours of community service for hitting a man on the head with a champagne bottle.

Hollywood diva Jennifer Lopez was in full bloom as she walked the red carpet at a UNICEF charity benefit hosted by Madonna at the United Nations headquarters in New York last night.The singer, who is expecting twins, arrived with her husband Marc Antony in tow, and joined a star-studded crowd inside which included Gwyneth Paltrow, Gwen Stefani, Demi Moore, as well as Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.

Earlier, she told People magazine: “I’m feeling good,” but admitted, “I haven’t gone out a lot for the past few months.”

She added “Right now the best thing I can do for myself, for my body is to keep resting which is not easy for me. I like keeping busy and it is very hard because if they say ‘be off your feet for four hours a day’, I’m like ‘oh, God!’ It’s hard.”

It comes just days after her farther David Lopez confirmed wide-spread reports J-Lo is expecting twins.

He revealed in an interview on Spanish TV: “Yes, twins. The thing is in my family, my sister also had twins, so it’s a hereditary thing.”

And when asked how he felt about the big news, the grandpa-to-be expressed his happiness for his famous daughter.

He added: “I’m very proud. Jennifer has yearned to be a mother for many years.”

With the 38-year-old singer’s due date getting closer and closer, her dad says he already has gifts ready for the babies.

He explained: “In Puerto Rico it’s custom to buy an azabache [black stone] bracelet for babies to protect them from the evil eye, it’s part of our culture.”

However, Mr Lopez did not reveal was the sex of the babies - although friends of the star and her husband Marc were recently seen taking presents of both blue and pink to a baby shower.
