The GIN AND JUICE star, real name CALVIN BROADUS, was arrested on 27 September (06) at John Wayne Airport in Orange County, California after allegedly trying to board a plane while carrying a 21 inch (53 centimetre) collapsible police baton in a computer case.

If convicted, he faces a potential maximum of three years in state penitentiary. Bail was set at $150,000 (GBP83,000).

On 26 October (06), he was arrested a second time at Burbank, California's Bob Hope Airport on suspicion of possessing marijuana and a handgun, according to police.
