TMZ has obtained photos of T.I.'s wife -- Tameka "Tiny" Cottle -- in handcuffs late last night while she was being placed into a cop car ... after she and her husband were arrested for allegedly possessing a controlled substance.
Sources on the scene tell us "Tiny" and T.I. were taken to separate squad cars and transported to a local Sheriff's station.



As we first reported, cops pulled the two over on Sunset Blvd around 10:18 PM for a traffic violation and then smelled marijuana. During a subsequent search of the vehicle, cops say they found a controlled substance -- we're told it was not cocaine. The class of the controlled substance that was found includes methamphetamines and ecstasy.

Both were booked on felony possession of a controlled substance.

They were released on $10,000 bail.
