Antwan “Big Boi” Patton was arrested in Miami this afternoon (August 7, 2011) as he and Andre’ 3000 were returning to the states from their luxurious family vacation.
My happy Sunday just came to a sudden halt! 
Details…
Twan, Dre’ and the fam were all returning from the cruise ship and Big’s scent apparently caught the attention of drug sniffing dogs.
Miami customs and border patrol authorities searched his person and found the illegal contraband.
Twan was arrested and charged with three counts of possessing a controlled substance (Ecstasy, MDMA (an ingredient found in Ecstasy), and Viagra). The Viagra charge was added because Big could not verify that he had a prescription for the drug.
He was also charged with possession of drug paraphernalia.
Big Boi was booked into the Miami-Dade County Jail at around 1:30 p.m. this afternoon and was since been released on a $16,000 bond.
I really didn’t want to post this, but how could I NOT? I posted Dre’s mugshot too when he was arrested for speeding in his Porsche a few years back (click HERE if you missed it), so no one’s exempt…. not even my baby daddy. *sigh*
I’m so inconsolable right now…. lemme go pour me a glass of Crown Royal Black to get my mind right.
Update: Sunday August 7, 2011 (7:35pm)
Big Boi has released a statement from his attorney, Daniel Kane:
While BIG BOI was traveling with his group and friends, a small amount of contraband was found in the collective luggage.
I am confident when the entire facts are aired BIG BOI will be completely exonerated.
I was waiting to see your reaction….~ you know I am lol @ the Viagra + ex pills = doing too much.
Wow
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
thank you! I waited to read this story cuz I wanted “straight from the a” side lol
Viagra?……..
I admire your reporting this. I’m sure it was hard, but it is news. Hopefully it will be cleared up!
didn’t know Viagra was a considered controlled substance?!
Boi and Dre should use their mugshots for the next outkast cd
Boi Staawwp lol
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo don’t post stories like this…
I want to remember all of the good stuff.. I love him.
WOW! How crazy is this?
[...] He was booked into jail at 1:35 PM ET. He is being held on $16,000 bond. [...]
[...] have mercy let me give my girl Atlien, because I know she going crazy with her boo (in her head) going to jail & all……. [...]
When did Viagra become a control substance? !
At the age of 95!
He was about to serve somebody well. lol…I can’t stop lol at this foolishness. “She” was going to be one well taken care of chick. What does Viagra say…4 hours…get it Big Boi.
I dont think you can transport substance from one country to another even if its a legal substance….especially in conjunction
I think when lance Armstrong got popped with it for cheating it’s kinda like a steroid I think , because a lot of athletes was using it since it increased the blood flow below the waste helping the quad muscles as well as little man…
With the other drugs.
DAMN BIG!!!!
Sounds like a wild night!
I think they might be considered a ‘controlled substance’ if they found the pills and they weren’t in a prescription bottle prescribed with his name on it…who knows..but it’s funny as hell!
*D.E.A.D*
WOW!!! Viagra whaaaaat…smfh
does this mean Big Boi has ED?? lbs
Wait for the real deal to come out!
Smh….We just can’t learn, it didn’t work out for the hundreds of others that tried it either…..Lmao!!
