Even though superstar rapper Lil Wayne was serving time Wednesday in New York City's Rikers Island correctional facility for illegal gun possession, that didn't stop him from getting in trouble with the criminal justice system in Arizona.

A warrant was issued for his arrest in Arizona because he failed to make an appearance in a case related to drug and weapons charges in that state.

As the Associated Press reported:

YUMA, Ariz. (AP) - A bench warrant has been issued for Grammy
Award-winning rapper Lil Wayne, who is facing drug and weapons
charges in Arizona.

A Yuma County Superior Court judge issued the warrant Tuesday
morning after the entertainer, whose real name is Dwayne Carter,
failed to appear for a final trial management conference.

But Lil Wayne's attorney says his client couldn't appear because
he just began serving a one-year jail sentence in New York for
having a loaded gun on his tour bus.

At least Arizona authorities know where to find him.
