Rick Fox Busted — Traveling Violation

Rick Fox could end up paying the City of Los Angeles nearly $500 — because TMZ has learned, the ex-NBA star got popped for running a red light recently … and the cop didn’t let him off with a warning.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, Fox — who was driving a brand new BMW 7 Series — was cruising around west L.A. when he accidentally stopped too late at a red light … and had to proceed through the intersection.

We’re told a cop saw the whole thing and pulled Fox over, citing him for running the red.

The ticket itself costs $446 … but with traffic school, the final bill could be a lot more.

T.I. and His Wife — Handcuffed and Busted

TMZ has obtained photos of rapper T.I. and his wife Tameka “Tiny” Cottle in police custody on Sunset Blvd. last night … after they were each arrested for allegedly possessing a controlled substance.

T.I. was placed into a squad car with an unknown male.

“Tiny” was taken to a separate squad car — both were transported to a local Sheriff’s station.

As we first reported, cops pulled over T.I.’s ultra-expensive Maybach on Sunset Blvd around 10:18 PM for a traffic violation and then smelled marijuana. During a subsequent search of the vehicle, cops say they found a controlled substance — we’re told it was not cocaine. The class of the controlled substance that was found includes methamphetamines and ecstasy.

Both were booked on felony possession of a controlled substance.

They were released on $10,000 bail.
