 (AllHipHop News) Atlanta Hip-Hop star T.I. could be heading back to prison, after police allegedly found meth-amphetamines and ecstasy in his Maybach last night (September 1st) in West Hollywood, California.



According to the LA County Sheriff's department, the charges T.I. faces include a minimum sentence of a year in state prison, in addition to fines that will be determined by a judge.



According to TMZ.com, T.I. and his wife Tiny Cottle were stopped in their expensive Maybach coup for a traffic violation around 10:30PM last night.



Police searched the vehicle after smelling marijuana and found the drugs, reported to be meth-amphetamines and ecstasy.



Both were booked on felony possession of a controlled substance and have since been released on $10,000 bail, a piece.



Tiny was arrested for possessing marijuana and ecstasy in the past.



In October of 2007, Tiny was arrested for possession of marijuana and ecstasy, during a sting operation that resulted in T.I.'s arrest for attempting to purchase machine guns and silencers.

Method Man Avoids Jail Time In Tax Evasion Case

Method Man Avoids Jail Time In Tax Evasion Case

Last year, it was reported that Method Man was arrested for Tax Evasion, failing to pay almost $33,000.



Facing up to four years in prison if convicted of felony Repeated Failure to File Personal Income and Earnings Tax, TMZ reports that Meth has entered a guilty plea to one count of misdemeanor Attempted Failure to Pay Taxes.



The plea bargain allows the Wu-Tang emcee to avoid jail time, but he did not leave the court room unscathed. The rapper avoided jail time by footing a $106,000 bill, and was sentenced to conditional discharge.



Before his arrest, Method Man would go on to explain that he never paid attention to notices from the IRS, and his touring and smoking lifestyle contributed to the oversight - a statement which he later clarified as a joke.

Chamillionaire's Mansion Foreclosed

Chamillionaire's Mansion Foreclosed

Houston rapper Chamillionaire allowed his $2 million mansion to go into foreclosure. According to the hit-maker behind songs like "Ridin' Dirty" and "Hip-Hop Police," his extensive touring schedule kept him on the road for so long that owning a 7,583 sq. foot mansion became more of a hassle than a luxury.

"I chose to be foreclosed on…I was always on the road touring," he said. “I just didn’t feel like it was a good business investment to pay that much mortgage for a house I was never at."

Although he admits he did stop making payments on the house as the housing market began to decline, he told TMZ that he is not broke. He still owns all of his other houses and cars, and in a recent Twitter post, even purchased another mansion this one's place.
