Warren G has been arrested in Los Angeles on a drug charge after police pulled over the car he was riding in.

Police say the 35-year-old rapper was arrested early Sunday after being pulled over for a red light violation. Officer Karen Smith says marijuana was found in the vehicle.

Warren G and the driver, Ryan Butler, were booked for investigation of possession of a controlled substance. They each posted $20,000 bail and were released.

Now G’s reps are saying he was a passenger in the vehicle and was asleep when they were pulled over, according to TMZ.com.

“They were in the Hollywood area for Kanye’s party. He was a passenger asleep in the front seat when the car was pulled over. They charged him because he didn’t debrief. Whatever was found wasn’t his, it was in the car,” said the statement.
