Ike Turner In and Out of Jail by Mistake

After a glitch in the system mistakenly identified Ike Turner as a wanted man, he was taken into custody by police and spent the night in jail until it was discovered that the 1989 warrant for his arrest had actually been recalled four months after it had been issued. Unfortunately for Turner, this information had not been uploaded into the computer system, which then alerted police to nab him at a routine traffic stop.

In an exclusive interview with TMZ, Turner claims that he wasn't entirely sure if there was a warrant out for his arrest when cops stopped him last night, and admitted that he complied with officers because, "They could have been right!"
He also told TMZ in the video that "the place was freezing all night" and was given a banana and a cookie to eat, but then laughed it off and seemed in pretty good spirits. Please watch it, if only to enjoy the perky, patronizing female interviewer who is talking to Turner like he's a complete idiot, who just stumbled out of the closest mental institution. See? This is why I don't like interviewing people. Because of a$$holes like me.
