SOMEBODY HAD TO PAY THE PIPER! TINY GETS CHARGED WITH POSSESSION OF ECSTASY!

The L.A. County District Attorney has charged T.I.'s wife -- Tameka Cottle -- for possessing the drug ecstasy when the couple was arrested on Sunset Strip last month. If convicted, Tameka could face up to a year behind bars.

As we previously reported, the D.A. has elected not to prosecute T.I. for charges stemming from the incident, noting that the rapper will already be serving time in Georgia for a probation violation stemming from the L.A. arrest.
