Paris, France – Lil Baby has run into some trouble with the law during his trip galavanting overseas checking out Paris Fashion Week. According to French outlet Le Parisien, Lil Baby — born Dominique Jones — was detained and arrested along with two others by French authorities for transporting narcotics on Thursday (July 8).

A vehicle Lil Baby and two friends were riding in was stopped by local police just shy of 5 p.m. local time. Police smelled marijuana and reportedly found 20 grams of weed in the passenger side glove compartment of the car, which resulted in Baby’s arrest.
