A drug-sniffing dog led police to Grammy-winning musician Big Boi as he was getting off a cruise ship in Miami Sunday.
Booking info from the Miami-Dade Police Department indicates Antwan André Patton, aka Big Boi, was booked into the jail there at about 1:30 p.m. on drug possession charges.
A warrant from Sunday's arrest released Monday says customs agents patted down the 36-year-old rapper and found Ecstasy and Viagra pills and a cigarette roller with marijuana residue. Patton was also accused of carrying MDMA, which is the main ingredient in Ecstasy.
Bond was set at $16,000, which Patton posted almost immediately.
The Georgia native broke onto the Atlanta rap scene with OutKast, which won six Grammys and churned out six platinum-plus albums, including "Speakerboxxx/The Love Below."
