HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- Huntsville police just confirmed that YouTube sensation Antoine Dodson was arrested early this morning for misdemeanor marijuana possession.

Police said the 24-year-old Dodson, who rocketed to Internet stardom when a New York songwriting duo stumbled across his televised rant about an alleged rapist, was pulled over at 1:57 a.m. near University Drive and Arctic Street. That's near the Northwoods public housing development.

According to the Madison County Sheriff's Office website, Dodson was booked into the county jail at 2:29 a.m. today. Police spokesman Harry Hobbs said he was released after posting a $1,340 cash bond.

In addition to second-degree possession, Dodson, 24, is charged with speeding, violation of Alabama's mandatory liability insurance law and two counts of failure to appear in court on an old traffic violation.

In Alabama, second-degree marijuana possession is a Class A offense punishable by up to a year in jail and a $6,000 fine. Hobbs said he did not know how much pot was found in Dodson's vehicle.

Dodson was unknown until his now-famous TV interview about a man trying to attack his sister at Huntsville's Lincoln Park public housing development last August. The Gregory Brothers set Dodson's "hide your kids, hide your wife" tirade to music.
