Turner was picked up by police in Los Angeles after officers discovered he had an outstanding no-bail felony drugs warrant dating back to 1989 during a traffic stop on the 405 Freeway in the San Fernando Valley.
The 75-year-old former husband of singer Tina Turner was then taken in and booked without bail at the city's Twin Towers jail.
However, according to website TMZ.com, it has now emerged there is no outstanding drugs warrant.
