Juelz Santana Arrested for Gun Possession at Newark Airport

TMZ reports that Juelz Santana surrendered to cops early Monday morning after fleeing from Newark International Airport Friday when TSA security found a gun in his carry-on.

The rapper was arrested at 1 a.m. by Port Authority Newark Airport police for unlawful possession of a weapon and possession of a controlled dangerous substance. According to TMZ, he also had an unspecified federal warrant.

As was previously reported, sources at the airport told NBC 4 New York that Santana, whose real name is LaRon Louis James, was going through a security screening at Terminal C at around 6 p.m. on March 10, when agents discovered the firearm. When TSA tried to confront the rapper, he ran off and possibly made his get away in a taxi.

His current legal woes aside, Juelz is finally set to release that long-awaited project with Lil Wayne, I Can't Feel My Face. Wayne teased that the project would be on the way soon on social media earlier this month.
