Ja Rule And Lil Wayne Post Bail

Here's some arrest footage of Wayne and Ja doing the perp walk. Weezy posted a $70,000 bond and Ja Rule put his Saddle River, NJ mansion up for collateral for his and his two co-defendants combined $320,000 bond. They are both facing up to 3 1/2 years on gun charges.
In case you don't know, this what supposed to have happened:
Police approached Lil' Wayne's tour bus, which was parked at 61st Street near Columbus Avenue, and claim they boarded the vehicle after smelling marijuana and discovered Derrick Lawrence of Brooklyn trying to flush half a pound of marijuana in the bus toilet. Lil' Wayne was changing as the officers entered the vehicle, and according to lead prosecutor Joan Illuzzi-Orbon, police discovered a .40-caliber Springfield Armory semiautomatic in a Louis Vuitton bag the rapper removed from his lap.
In Ja's case it went down like this: Police say they stopped Rule's 2004 Mercedes Maybach around 10:30 p.m. at the intersection of West End Avenue and 78th street for having a suspended registration. The officers searched the vehicle after smelling marijuana and discovered a .40-caliber semiautomatic Taurus in a backseat compartment of the car. Police arrested Rule, as well as his 38-year-old driver Mohamed Gamal and another passenger 36-year-old Dennis Cherry.
