Lil' Kim's A Wanted Woman

SEPTEMBER 29--The rapper Lil' Kim may be welcome in swanky boutiques like Gucci and Dolce & Gabbana and the country's hottest nightclubs, but she better stay out of Teaneck. That's because police in the New Jersey city have an outstanding arrest warrant with the 28-year-old performer's name on it. Seems that Kim (real name: Kimberly Jones) never bothered to show up in Municipal Court to answer charges stemming from her arrest during a July 1996 search of the Teaneck home of Notorious B.I.G., the rapper born Christopher Wallace. When cops executing a search warrant at Wallace's home found a marijuana stash and several handguns (all of which had their serial numbers scratched off), officers arrested the rapper and his posse. Lil' Kim was charged with marijuana possession, while Wallace was hit with felony gun charges. But when Jones skipped court dates, an arrest warrant was issued for her (Wallace, of course, was never tried on gun and pot charges since he was murdered in March 1997). While we're not holding our breath, TSG is hoping that Kim and her Swarovski pasties will soon show up in court to settle her Teaneck troubles. (2 pages)
