Outkast's Big Boi arrested in Miami

The Outkast member was charged with possession of controlled substances.

It looks like the group, Outkast, may have to wait to release any new material. Antwan "Big Boi" Patton, who makes up half of the Grammy-winning group, was arrested in Miami this afternoon on drug charges.

When leaving a cruise ship, Patton came face to face with police dogs who recognized the smell of drugs. Police then found Viagra, which he did not have a prescription for, as well as Ecstasy pills and MDMA powder, which is the main ingredient in Ecstasy.

Patton's attorney, Daniel Kane, said in a statement, "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."

Bond was set at $16,000 at the Pre-Trial Detention Center in Miami.

Patton and his other half of Outkast, Andre 3000, allegedly have had a strained relationship in the past, but a friend recently told CNN that the two were working together. Patton has been touring with Cee Lo Green.
