Rapper Jim Jones was arrested on an outstanding warrant in Teaneck early Monday morning, police said, but that didn’t stop him from “tweeting.”

Jones updated his Twitter page during this arrest.

The Harlem-based artist, whose real name is Joseph Guillermo Jones II, was being processed by the Teaneck police and continued to update his Twitter page.

Twitter is a social-networking Web site used to send online updates to people and is heavily used by various celebrities.

On Monday, the 32-year-old rapper told the Twitter online community when he got pulled over in a 12:24 a.m. post from his phone, or “Twitterberry.”

“I decide to drive by myself let’s see how this plays out,” he wrote.

Jones was driving his 2007 black Bentley south on Teaneck Road near Forest Avenue when a Teaneck police officer noticed he was missing a front license plate, said police Capt. Keith Richter.

After police stopped Jones on Teaneck Road and Cedar Lane around 12:10 a.m., they found the rapper had an outstanding warrant out of Paterson and arrested him.

His next update came around 1:10 a.m. when he wrote, “Well it didn’t go the way I wanted I’m in the precinct but I still have my phone they ain’t trippin they said just procedure.”

He even updated his more than 22,000 followers on Twitter when he was released.

“Misses officer let me go the funny part was watching them have to count all the money in my pocket lol I must say they were very cool,” he wrote at 1:53 a.m.

“And it was a punk ass warrant from 2005 for 120 dollars,” he continued.

Richter confirmed Jones, who provided a Newark home address, paid $120 and was released.

He was also issued a summons for driving without a front license plate, Richter said.

Paterson Police Lt. Donald Giaquinto said the warrant was for an unpaid ticket.

“Make sure you pay old tickets,” Jones told fans on Twitter.

Jones recently released his latest album, “Pray IV Reign.”

He’s known for the popular rap song, “We Fly High (Ballin’).”

Jones is scheduled to headline the “Stay-in-School” tour with rapper Soulja Boy in White Plains, N.Y. on April 25.
