Rapper Waka Flocka Flame was reportedly arrested at an Atlanta airport on Oct. 10 for having a loaded gun in his handbag... yikes!
TMZ reports that 28-year-old Waka Flocka, real name Juaquin Malphurs, was stopped and arrested at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport when a security scan showed that his baggage has a loaded gun tucked inside.
My Fox Atlanta reported that the gun was found in his carry on bag. Police said that Waka Flocka did not have a weapons permit, and was charged with carrying a weapon in a prohibited place.
He was taken to the Clayton County jail.
TMZ later reported that Waka Flocka's representative, Debra Antney, told the website that the entire incident was all a big mistake.
The bag apparently belonged to Flocka's fianceé, which he accidentally grabbed. The lawyer went on to say that Flocka and his fianceé are in the process of moving, and that in the confusion of moving, the couple's belongings have ended up all over the place... which apparently explains how the gun got into the bag.
No further comments have been made by Flocka, his rep, or his fianceé about the incident.
