Crunchy BlackofDa Mafia 6ix, formerlyThree Six Mafia, was just popped in Las Vegas for drug possession.
The 40-year old, real name Darnell Carlton, was stopped by police in Sin City on Tuesday, April 15, when he was stopped for walking into an intersection when the "do not cross" light was flashing.
During a search police found meth on the rapper. He didn't deny that the drugs were his, but said, "Oh damn. I was trying to buy that powder, not meth."
Cops also found out Black had two warrants out for his arrest. He was booked for possession and for providing a phony name. He's still in custody, according to TMZ.
**UPDATE** April 30
Crunchy Black pleaded guilty to misdemeanor drug possession on Wednesday, April 29. The judge in the case sentenced him to 30 days in jail.
TMZ reports that the rapper was also sentenced to 6 months for a previous domestic violence case he previously bailed on. As a result he'll spend the next 7 months behind bars.

Miami (CNN) Inside a plane at Miami International Airport, baggage handlers are going on a shopping spree with passengers' bags.
What they don't know is that they are being recorded on a hidden camera. The Miami-Dade Police Department set up the camera as part of an ongoing police investigation into luggage thefts by the very airport workers who are supposed to get bags safely onto planes.
"It's a problem we all face," said police Lt. Pete Estis. "We will continue to be proactive until we can see that the claims of pilfering through luggage will actually decrease."
And these insider thefts just don't happen in Miami. A CNN analysis of passenger property loss claims filed with the TSA from 2010 to 2014 shows 30,621 claims of missing valuables, mostly packed in checked luggage. The rest occurred at security checkpoints. Total property loss claimed: $2.5 million.
John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York topped the list of airports with the most claims of thefts from luggage, followed by Los Angeles International, Orlando International and Miami International, according to the data.
The problem has been so serious at JFK that in 2013, El Al Airlines set up a hidden camera in a baggage hold. The camera showed baggage handlers stealing items on flights bound for Israel, including a $5,000 Seiko watch, iPhones, an iPad, cameras, gold rings and cash. Six of those arrested pleaded guilty to possession of stolen property or petty larceny and the seventh suspect's case was sealed, according to the Queens District Attorney's Office.
The high-profile case, though, didn't stop the thefts. Two more baggage handlers at JFK were arrested in 2014 after authorities said they stole two designer handbags from a suitcase, and then tried to sell them on eBay.
Then, in December, seven more JFK baggage handlers were charged with stealing valuables from checked luggage. The items were stolen from suitcases of passengers traveling to or from Hawaii, Japan, Johannesburg, London, Bangkok, Dubai, Milan and various U.S. cities.
In Miami, which aggressively goes after luggage thieves, police have arrested 31 baggage handlers and ramp workers since 2012, including six so far this year.
Police set up a hidden camera inside the belly of a plane last year and caught baggage handlers rifling through luggage and stealing various items.
Another hidden camera caught a baggage handler rummaging through bags in a secure luggage room inside the airport while a security guard looked the other way.
"Insider threat is very scary for us in law enforcement, and certainly someone taking somebody's cell phone, iPad, computer -- what's next?" Estis said.
A CNN investigation earlier this year found that Miami and Orlando are the only two major airports in the country that require employees to be screened through metal detectors. Miami even checks employees when they leave work to go into the main terminal. But that apparently hasn't stopped the luggage thieves.
"As far as being able to get the property off the airfield, that's a great question," Estis said. "We have theories."
In Los Angeles, police last year executed search warrants on 25 locations after getting complaints about thefts in two terminals. Among the valuables found were computers, watches, jewelry and cameras and designer bags. Sixteen airport workers were fired.
"We cut theft in those two terminals by 60% because of doing that aggressive investigative work," said Patrick Gannon, police chief of Los Angeles International Airport.
Luggage theft could definitely lead to more serious problems, he said.
"I absolutely think that if we don't pay attention to the small things that happen around here, that it could lead to much larger things. So there is, I believe, a connection between baggage theft and terrorism," Gannon said.
Even the TSA has had problem employees. Since 2002, the agency has fired 513 officers for theft. It employs about 50,000 officers today, and last year screened more than 443 million checked bags and nearly 1.7 billion carry-ons.
Luggage theft isn't confined to airport workers. Outsiders have been caught on surveillance cameras stealing luggage from carousels. CNN contacted airports around the country and found while the total thefts from carousels are relatively low, it continues to be a problem.
For example, Seattle reported 214 luggage thefts from carousels and other airport locations last year, 200 in Las Vegas, 36 in Atlanta, 35 in Phoenix, 15 at Ronald Reagan Washington National, 14 at Dulles International and 10 at Chicago's O'Hare Airport.

Even though he was one of two men run over by Suge Knight's truck, Cle "Bone" Sloane took the stand on Monday, April 13, and said he wouldn't testify against Knight.
A fight in January between Sloane and Knight led to the former Death Row Records boss running over Sloane twice. In in the process he also hit and killed Terry Carter.

Sloane testified that he couldn't remember key elements of the prosecutor's case.
“I’ve been trying to forget the whole incident,” Sloan said, according to The New York Daily News. “I just know I screwed up, and Terry’s dead. I’m not a snitch. “I will not be forced to tell on anybody. I don’t want it to get misconstrued that I sent this man to prison. …I will not be used to send Suge Knight to prison.”
NEW YORK (Associated Press) — The high-octane thriller "Furious 7" maintained speed in its second week, racing away with $60.6 million at North American theaters and bringing its box-office total to a robust $252.5 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.
Universal's "Furious 7" more than lapped the competition. The only new wide release of the weekend, the rodeo romance "The Longest Ride," opened with $13.5 million.
That was good enough for third place for the Fox release, which stars Clint Eastwood's son, Scott Eastwood. In second was the DreamWorks animated alien adventure "Home," which pulled in $19 million in its third week of release.
But "Furious 7" continued to dominate the marketplace, dropping only 59 percent from its remarkable $147.2 million debut last weekend. Globally, it has already crossed $800 million in its first two weeks of release, according to Universal.
The weekend international total — an eye-popping $195 million — was boosted by the film premiering in China on Sunday, where it earned an estimated $68.6 million in just one day.
Over 10 days, "Furious 7," which prominently features a tribute to the late actor Paul Walker, has already out-grossed all previous installments of the 14-year-old franchise.
At its current pace, "Furious 7" will likely become the highest grossing film in Universal's history. The studio's "Jurassic Park," from 1993, holds Universal's mark with $1.02 billion worldwide.
It's a summer blockbuster-sized result for "Furious 7," but by opening in April, it has little competition in its way. On a much smaller scale, the critically acclaimed sci-fi film "Ex Machina" drew the year's largest theater average of $62,489 in four theaters.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Rentrak. Where available, the latest international numbers for Friday through Sunday are also included. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.
1. "Furious 7," $60.6 million ($195 million international).
2. "Home," $19 million ($15.2 million international).
3. "The Longest Ride," $13.5 million ($3 million international).
4. "Get Hard," $8.6 million ($1.4 million international).
5. "Cinderella," $7.2 million ($12.6 million international).
6. "The Divergent Series: Insurgent," $6.9 million ($7.9 million international).
7. "Woman in Gold," $5.9 million.
8. "It Follows," $2 million.
9. "Danny Collins," $1.6 million.

(CNN) Arizona investigators have released dramatic video of a Walmart parking lot brawl that left a police officer wounded, one man dead, and reportedly involved members of a Christian family band.
Enoch Gaver, 21, was killed in the fight in the town of Cottonwood, and suspect David Gaver, 28, was shot in the stomach and taken into custody. Police Sergeant Jeremy Daniels was hit in the leg by a bullet fired during the melee.
The police dashcam video, released Friday, shows Cottonwood Police approaching the group of eight people -- all identified as members of the Gaver family -- around a large SUV in a Walmart parking lot on March 21.
Officers wanted to question them about the alleged assault of a Walmart employee who was going into the store bathroom. The police were accompanied by another Walmart employee.
On the video, an officer tells the group that they "need to separate these folks and talk to them." Someone then responds, "No, you are not going to separate me from my parents," and, "don't touch me."
The video then shows a police officer being put in a headlock and knocked to the ground.
The sound of Taser fire is heard. Police say pepper spray was deployed and that at least three shots were fired in an apparent struggle for an officer's gun.
Several times on the video the group appears to surrender, but starts fighting again. The melee goes for several minutes until backup officers arrive and make arrests.
A Wal-Mart employee who tried to help suffered a broken arm in the incident on 21 March.
Four members of the family were arrested: 55-year-old Peter Gaver, 52-year-old Ruth Gaver, 27-year-old Nathan Gaver, and 29-year-old Jeremiah Gaver.

At least three members of the family are reportedly in a Christian band named "Matthew 24 Now," which is a Bible verse that refers to the end times, according to CNN affiliate KPHO. The family was living out of its Chevy Suburban.

Comedienne and actress Lunell spoke exclusively with VladTV about her experience filming 'Borat' with Sasha Baron Cohen.
Lunell says Sasha played the part of Borat to the tee and was always in character outside of lunchtime. She confirmed that the racist scenes were 100% real, but she didn't receive any racist treatment outside of filming.
Lunell also says she was taken out of her comfort zone frequently when she encountered racists while filming in Georgia, and also while they were in Romania.
Producer extraordinaire The Alchemist talked to VladTV about getting started in the music game, what his official affiliation with Eminem is, and why he doesn't envision himself as a true DJ.
After parting ways with The Whooliganz in the early 90's, the Cali native focused on his producing and lyrical efforts, which led him to work with Dilated Peoples, Mobb Deep and eventually Eminem. Alchemist cleared up speculation of his official role over at Shady records as the rapper's DJ. He also says he isn't signed to Shady Records like many others have assumed.
During his start, the producer says he was immensely in the Hip Hop culture. From break-dancing to rapping, he says he decided to stick with DJ'ing.
