Lil' Wayne was released from jail in Boise, Idaho on $20,000 bail on Saturday evening and according to his attorney, his client's incarceration was the result of a "misunderstanding."Police arrested Lil' Wayne early Saturday morning following a concert at the Qwest Arena, after authorities in Fulton County, Georgia issued a felony arrest warrant because he missed two scheduled court dates to answer a charge of felony possession of drugs.
His lawyer William Head filed for an emergency release order, claiming that Lil' Wayne may not have been aware of the court dates.
"When someone's this successful, there are chances things will fall through the cracks," Lil' Wayne's attorney William Head stated. "They were under the impression that those charges had either been resolved or dismissed."
The charges are the result of an incident in August of last year when Lil' Wayne was arrested on drug possession charges in Atlanta Georgia, after a housekeeper found marijuana in his hotel room.
Police later searched the room and recovered 60 pills of Alprazolam and 59 pills of hydrocodone.
Lil' Wayne, born Dwayne Michael Carter, was arrested and charged with felony possession of drugs.
Lil Wayne is due back in court in Fulton County tomorrow.
"We want to make sure the court knows he's not trying to stay away from Georgia," Head said.
