Lil' Flip was arrested yesterday (July 21) in Houston, Texas on charges of credit card abuse.

The Houston Chronicle reports Lil' Flip turned himself in to authorities at the Harris County Courthouse at 2:30 pm yesterday.

Weston is accused of buying a $671 Southwest Airlines ticket to Baltimore from Houston on June 8 with an American Express card held by a man identified as Jordan Salinger. Salinger, whose relationship, if any, with Weston is unknown, told authorities he did not authorize the purchase.

"It has more to do with people around him, and not the man himself. The man is not a criminal; he's never been in trouble," said community activist Quanell X, speaking on behalf of Weston.

Flip (Real name: Wesley Weston) was released on $2000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court tomorrow (July 23).
