EL PASO, Texas — Authorities say rapper Wiz Khalifa has been arrested in West Texas for marijuana possession.
The performer from Cannonsburg, Pennsylvania, was stopped at an inspection checkpoint at the El Paso airport.
A statement from El Paso police says because Khalifa traveled without identification, a search was ordered and Transportation Security Administration agents found a canister with marijuana.
TSA alerted police, who then arrested Khalifa.
He was charged with misdemeanor possession of marijuana and was released after posting $300 bail.
Court records do not list an attorney.
A message left at Khalifa’s agency was not immediately returned.
Khalifa was born Cameron Thomaz in Minot, North Dakota.
He was a headliner at an El Paso music festival Saturday.
