September 2, 2010 - LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Authorities say Grammy-winning rapper T.I. and his wife have been arrested on suspicion of possessing methamphetamines after sheriff's deputies stopped their car in West Hollywood and smelled marijuana smoke.

Deputy Diane Hecht said Thursday the 29-year-old rapper and Tameka Cottle were booked Wednesday night in Los Angeles County jail.

Deputy Luis Castro says the couple posted $10,000 bail each and were released from jail at about 4 a.m. Thursday.

T.I.'s publicist declined to comment.

The rapper is a multiplatinum hitmaker who also appears in the new movie "Takers."

He has history of drug offenses and was released in March after serving time on a federal weapons charge.
