Rapper was pulled over early Thursday morning in New York.

Ja Rule was arrested early Thursday morning in New York on charges of fifth-degree marijuana possession and driving with a suspended license.

Officers pulled him over at 2:19 a.m. as he drove down Sixth Avenue because he was swerving in and out of lanes without using his signal, a police department spokesperson said. Once authorities stopped him, officers found a small amount of marijuana and discovered that his license had been suspended, the spokesperson said.

No further details were available, and a spokesperson at Ja's label, the Inc., was unavailable for comment.
