Wiz Khalifa Skips Court on Pot Charge: Arrest Warrant Issued

A warrant has been issued for rapper Wiz Khalifa's arrest after he skipped a court date on a marijuana possession charge in West Texas, The Associated Press reports.

Online court records show the 26-year-old "Black and Yellow" star, whose real name is Cameron Thomaz, failed to appear for a scheduled arraignment on Wednesday in an El Paso County misdemeanor court.

County Court-at-Law Judge Ricardo Herrera issued a bench warrant for the rapper's arrest.

Hours after missing his scheduled court date, Khalifa appeared on "The Tonight Show" and played Pictionary with host Jimmy Fallon, actress Megan Fox and television personality Nick Cannon, CBS reported.

According to AP, it all began May 25, when El Paso International Airport security officers found a small canister of marijuana on Khalifa.

Khalifa was arrested and charged with misdemeanor possession of marijuana. He was released after posting $300 bail.

Khalifa was in the airport to depart after appearing at a local music festival, AP reports. Court records do not list an attorney.
