Soulja Boy’s "pretty boy swag" landed him in jail on Tuesday,
after US police discovered drugs and weapons in
his rented SUV. The rapper was arrested and held on a $10,000 bond following a
traffic stop that found guns and marijuana, as well as a puppy, in his Cadillac
Escalade.
The 21-year-old rapper -- real name DeAndre Cortez Way -- was popped
early this morning by Temple Police Department officers in Temple, GA at 3:15
AM.
Everyone in the SUV was "very cordial", Temple police chief
Tim Shaw told the Associated Press. Officers may have been softened up by the
presence of Soulja Boy's puppy; instead of taking the little fellow to the
pound, police "called around" to find someone to look after it. The puppy was eventually collected by the driver's
sister
Until now, Soulja Boy's record has been
relatively clean. Since his rise from MySpace star to millionaire at the age of
17, Soulja Boy has been arrested once previously, for running away from police. "I just wanna
put this behind me!" he tweeted at the time. "I'm not going back
to jail!!"
Soulja Boy's new documentary, Soulja Boy: The
Movie, was released on DVD this week.
