Juelz Santana will face the judge today after he literally fled the cene after getting caught with a gun. Deets inside, plus love in the club with Birdman and Lil Wayne...
Days after Juelz Santana dipped out of Newark airport (see what we did there?) when TSA discovered a loaded gun in his luggage, he's turned himself in.
Not sure what made him think he could run AND hide from authorities, but the Dipset rapper, whose government name is LaRon James, has smartened up, and is ready to face the music.
As we previously reported, Juelz forgot to take his gun out of his luggage and TSA agents found it as he went through a security checkpoint at Newark Airport Friday evening.
Once TSA agents got their hands on the gun, the 36-year-old rapper took off running out of the airport and hopped into a taxi, leaving his bags and the gun behind.
ABC News says the loaded .38-caliber handgun was found in his carry-on bag alongside Santana's ID.
LaRon has been charged with one count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and one count of carrying a weapon on an aircraft. He's prohibited from possessing a firearm due to a 2013 conviction for manufacturing and distributing a controlled dangerous substance.
Both charges carry a maximum potential penalty of 10 years in prison, so we'll see how this goes.
Juelz's girlfriend Kimbella is riding for her man, as expected:
Anybody else dying to see video of Juelz jetting aout that airport at top speed?
In other rap news, Birdman and Lil Wayne may have squashed their beef. The "Stuntin' Like My Daddy" rappers and YMCMB honchos have been beefing for years over coins, album releases and their Cash Money empire.
Over the weekend, the two were seen publicly reuniting at a club. It's unclear the premise of their meet up, but at least it's a step in the right direction. Maybe.
