'Bed Intruder' Internet star arrested in Alabama

-

(CNN) -- Antoine "Bed Intruder" Dodson, the man whose TV news rant against a would-be rapist became a viral music video and his ticket to celebrity, was arrested for marijuana possession, according to Alabama authorities.

Judging by his tweets, Dodson, 24, isn't all that upset about it.

"Let me be the first to tell it!!" So just got out of jail off a weak charge!!!," Dodson said in a Saturday afternoon tweet. "Got pulled over in my Benz and they got me ... I never been in jail except that time in grade school."

Dodson used an Internet acronym, part of which typically means, "rolling on the ... floor" laughing.

The Madison County Sheriff's Office website confirmed Dodson was arrested for possession of marijuana and four other minor charges early Saturday morning.

He was booked into the county jail at 2:30 a.m. and was later released.

Dodson became famous on "YouTube" after speaking to a local television news station about a break-in at his sister's apartment. His local news interview was produced into a music video that went viral. The hit spawned multiple covers including an a cappella version performed by a university singing group.

Dodson performed "Bed Intruder" at the 2010 BET Hip-Hop Awards last October.

The book, which was co-authored by Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Karen Hunter, caused controversy when it was released in 2006, because of all the inside information revealed about various rappers and their sexual habits. In the clip, Steffans can be heard saying that "Confessions of a Video Vixen," which was published by Harper Books, was entirely fabricated. "The vixen doesn't exist... It was all fabricated I didn't even name my books," Steffans admitted. "'Confessions of a Video Vixen,' I would've never named that book that. That's somebody else's name." Steffans, who

New Haven, Connecticut (CNN) -- A Yale University lab technician pleaded guilty Thursday to murder and attempted sexual assault in the killing of graduate student Annie Le in 2009. Raymond Clark III will be sentenced to 44 years in prison as part of the plea agreement. In court Thursday, prosecutors described injuries to the victim and evidence of attempted sexual assault. Le, 24, was strangled to death. She had a broken jaw and collarbone, the prosecution said. Clark's DNA was "all over" the crime scene, including in her underwear, the state charged. Le's body was discovered inside a wall of a Yale lab building four days later after an extensive search by the FBI and police. Clark, 26, admitted the facts as the prosecution presented them but pleaded guilty under a legal precedent that allows him to do so while still officially protesting his innocence. He entered Judge Roland Fasano's packed courtroom handcuffed, winking at his father as he walked in
