Rapper Webbie was charged with felony eluding, driving under the influence and misdemeanor possession of marijuana after a high-speed police chase.
Webbie, whose real name is Webster Gradney Jr., was arrested Sunday in Hattiesburg. He was released Monday from Forrest County Jail on $25,000 bond, a jail official said Tuesday.
