Lil Flip Arrested: Houston Rapper Busted With Weed & Assault Rifle

Houston rapper Lil Flip has been out of the public eye for several years, but he recently found himself behind bars when a speeding ticket resulted in drug and weapons charges.

The rapper, born Wesley Eric Weston, 31, was driving 86 mph in a 75mph zone in Shreveport, La., when local police pulled him over and searched his 2010 Dodge Challenger, turning up marijuana and an illegally owned Bushmaster AR-15 assault rifle.

Flip was subsequently arrested for speeding, third-offense possession of marijuana and possession of a firearm in the presence of a controlled dangerous substance.

Flip's bond was set at $35,000. He has since been released, and has posted some very upset messages via Instagram.

"I have a gun license.. and black n mild guts ain't ganja," he wrote, accompanying a photo of him flipping off the camera. "If my gun was a problem why is it still in my trunk."

All card-carrying members of the DEA need to read: Shoulda Robbed a Bank
Here is one of its reviews:

5.0 out of 5 stars... If David Sedaris had written 'Catcher in the Rye'..this would be it, June 30, 2012

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Shoulda Robbed a Bank (Kindle Edition)

I have never smoked pot in my life...nor do I ever care to.
I read about this book in numerous Huffington Post comments. Thought I would read it because I know nothing about marijuana or the people involved with it. I am ecstatic that I did. Funny, Funny, Funny!!!
The chapters are like short stories. Stories about unloading boats with helicopters, close encounters with law enforcement, traveling through the jungles of South America. The chapter about the author's first time smoking marijuana made me feel like I was with him...coughing.
All of the characters were just a group of loveable, nice guys and girls. Not what I had been raised to believe...hysterical maniacs high on pot bent on death and mayhem. They were nothing like that.
If you have ever read any of David Sedaris' books, and like them...you will love Shoulda Robbed a Bank.
And the crazy things happening reminded me of Holden Caufield in 'Catcher in the Rye' and the way he staggered through life.
The way the words are put together are like nothing I have ever heard. I am sure I will use many of the sayings found in this book just to dazzle my friends. A terrific read. I love this book.

"If my gun was a problem why is it still in my trunk."

Well said, Sir.

Law enforcement needs to re-direct its focus on crimes... to those that are REAL crimes.

I spent 5 years in Federal Prison for a marijuana offense. While I was there, I watched armed bank robbers come and go in as little as 20 months.

After 3 years 'behind the wall,' I pointed this out to the parole board. Their response: “You must understand, yours was a very serious offense.”
How do you respond to that mentality?

I laughed about the parole panel's comment for 2 more years (as I still sat in prison), then wrote my book:

Shoulda Robbed a Bank

No, it is not a treatise on disproportionate sentences.

I wrote about the escapades that led to my incarceration. I admit, I had a great time. No one was injured, no one was killed, firearms were not involved...there were no victims.

We were Americans pursuing happiness in our own way. Harming no one...nor their property.

That’s my contribution to helping point out just how ludicrous our pot laws truly are.

I would be honored by your review.
