New Orleans police arrested six men on Monday during a protest in support of jailed rappers Lil Wayne and Lil Boosie. Off duty officers witnessed the men spray painting the words “Free Lil Wayne” on the side of a building. The men also hung a “Free Lil Wayne and Lil Boosie” banner on a different building and used police barricades and trash cans to block traffic on one street.

The six men fled when cops moved in, but they were arrested after a short chase. They were charged with disturbing the peace, resisting arrest by flight and criminal damage to property.

Earlier this month, Lil Boosie was sentenced to four years in prison for violating his probation. (He was caught with a gun and marijuana.) Lil Wayne is expected to be sentenced to a year in prison two weeks from now. He was convicted illegal weapons possession after a loaded handgun was found on his tour bus in New York in 2007.
