Rick Ross Arrested in North Carolina on Outstanding Warrant

Rapper Rick Ross was arrested last night (June 27) in Greensboro, N.C., following his performance at the 2014 SuperJam at the Greensboro Coliseum. The arrest stemmed from a year-old warrant for another North Carolina arrest related to marijuana possession; Ross reportedly failed to appear in court for that violation in 2013. 

TMZ reports that Ross cooperated with local police, posted bail and has now been released.
