Rapper Jadakiss is in trouble with the law again. He was arrested early Saturday morning in Yonkers, NY and charged with drug possession and criminal possession of a weapon.  
  
Police officers approached the 2006 Toyota Camry the 31-year-old rapper and his four friends were sitting in when they saw the man in the driver's seat acting strangely. As they got closer, the police smelled marijuana. When they searched the car, they found loaded .38-caliber revolver, which was reported stolen. Everyone in the car was charged with possession of a stolen firearm. The driver of the car, Darnell Frazier, also received a violation for driving under the influence. Jadakiss, whose real name is Jason Phillips, had some marijuana on him so he was also charged with possession of marijuana. The group will remain at the Westchester County Jail until Tuesday, when they will go to court and be eligible for bond.  
  
In 2004, Jadakiss was arrested on similar charges, marijuana and gun possession.
