Lil Wayne Could Serve More Time (audio)
A source at Rikers Island confirmed reports that Lil Wayne was busted Monday for
having headphones, a charger and a watch that doubles as an MP3 player in his
jail cell.
The offense isn’t extremely serious, but it could mean more prison
time for Wayne. “You just get an infraction, a violation,” the source told MTV
News. “You lose some ‘good time.’
“It depends on the severity of the
infraction,” the source added about what other type of trouble Weezy could get
into. “Level one is the worst. Then you have [level] two or three. [This
infraction] could be a level one. He has to go on trial, and based on evidence,
they’ll make their determination.”
Our source also confirmed that Wayne has a
job as a suicide-prevention aid, which entails staying up at night to keep an
eye on at-risk inmates.
“He checks each cell or area to see if each guy is
alive. There are three shifts,” our source said. “I think his shift is at night,
like 11 [p.m.] to 7 [a.m.] or 12 to 8.”
That job is now in jeopardy due to
the infraction.
In 2007, Lil Wayne was arrested for attempted gun possession
following his first headlining performance in Manhattan at the Beacon Theatre.
New York is among the toughest states in the country when it comes to
gun-possession laws. In other states, Lil Wayne could have gotten off with a
misdemeanor rap and probation. However, in New York, only law-enforcement
officials and those affiliated with authorities are permitted to carry firearms.
The rapper was sentenced to a year in prison in March. – MTV
