Louisiana rapper Lil Boosie, aka Boosie Badazz, and Antonio Allen were arrested on weapons and drug charges after being pulled over on a traffic stop.
According to TMZ, the arresting police officers found weed, a handgun, and cash during the traffic stop in Georgia.
The publication previously reported that Boosie was arrested with a man named Antonio Allen who played for the New York Jets.
However, court records and the arresting mugshot reveal that it is a different Antonio Allen who is facing drug and weapon possession charges. Antonio Allen claims to be a bodyguard and he is not a public figure.

Boosie has since been bonded out of police custody in Coweta County Jail. The rapper reportedly stated that his arrest was a misunderstanding as he entered a vehicle. It is unclear whether Antonio Allen has also bonded out as his associate was not seen leaving the County jail with the rapper.
