Lil’ Wayne was supposed to appear in court in Arizona, but he is behind bars in New York. How does that work?

An Arizona judge issued a bench warrant Tuesday (3/16/2010) for Grammy Award-winning rapper Lil Wayne after he failed to appear for a hearing on drug and weapons charges because he is serving jail time in New York.

Lil Wayne’s attorney, James Tilson, said his client couldn’t appear because he is already serving a one-year jail sentence for having a loaded gun on his tour bus. The rapper began serving that sentence March 8 at the Rikers Island jail complex.

Lil Wayne was arrested in January 2008 at a border checkpoint 78 miles east of Yuma after authorities say they found cocaine, Ecstasy and a handgun on his tour bus.

Whoa, looks like Lil’ Wayne is quite the party boy, huh? In jail in one state, but needs to appear in court in another. What a bad ass. Wonder if he will behave and get out of jail in 8 months rather than 12.
