Ike Turner spent a night in jail this week after police found a warrant for his arrest on a drugs charge dating back to 1989 sitting on their system. But it turned out the warrant should have been removed from said system a few months after it was issued.
LA Police pulled over Turner earlier this week after they saw him driving at over 80mph while straddling two lanes. Officers ran a routine check on the musician/producer, and that's when the old felony drug warrant popped up. The police subsequently arrested Turner, and stuck him in the cells for the night. But it seems that the warrant should have been removed four months after it was issued back in 1989, and once the error had been cleared up Ike was released.
LAPD's April Harding told reporters: "He had court yesterday and I guess that they deemed it was an old warrant that was never removed from the system".
