UPDATE: LIL WAYNE RELEASED; LAWYER SAYS ARREST WAS A MISUNDERSTANDING
Lil' Wayne was arrested Saturday morning (Oct. 6) following a concert last night in Boise, Idaho.

Wayne was booked by police into the Ada County Jail at 7:30 a.m. for being a Fugitive in the state of Idaho, because of an arrest warrant issued in Fulton, County Georgia. He has since been released on $20,000 bail.

Lil' Wayne's lawyer, William Head, says the arrest was a misunderstanding.

"When someone's this successful, there are chances things will fall through the cracks," Lil' Wayne's attorney William Head told Atlanta's Fox Channel 5. "They were under the impression that those charges had either been resolved or dismissed."

Lil' Wayne is due back in court tomorrow (October 9).

"We want to make sure the court knows he's not trying to stay away from Georgia," Head said.

Police say Lil' Wayne was arrested on a felony warrant out of Fulton County, Georgia, for felony possession of drugs.

The warrant stems from an August 14, 2006 in Atlanta, Georgia when Wayne was arrested for drug possession.

In that incident, police were called to Lil' Wayne's hotel room where they found marijuana, 60 pills of Alprazolam and 59 pills of hydrocodone.
