Yung Joc Arrested At Cleveland Airport With Loaded Gun

Bad Boy South recording artist, Yung Joc, was reportedly arrested Sunday morning (December 23) at the Cleveland Hopkins Airport after attempting to pass through security with a loaded handgun.

According to local news channel WKYC, the handgun was fully loaded. He was said to have told authorities that he didn't know the weapon was there.

The rapper (real name: Jasiel Robinson) was arrested without incident, taken into custody and will face local firearms charges, but because of the incident taking place within the airport, he could be charged federally under the Air Piracy Act.

Joc remained behind bars at the Cuyahoga County Jail through Monday morning (December 24). He is now free on $50,000 bail and will be arraigned Wednesday (December 26).

Yung Joc released his sophomore album earlier this year, titled Hustlenomic$, spawning the hit single "Coffee Shop."

Despite his popularity, he was unable to produce sales. Joc received almost as much publicity for his oversized "H" chain, named after the album, than his music.
