Yung Joc's Legal Layover

He's an expert in Hustlenomic$, but Yung Joc would do well to acquaint himself with FAA regulations.

The Grammy-nominated rapper was arrested Sunday morning at Cleveland Hopkins International Airpot after trying to board a Delta flight to Atlanta with a loaded gun in his carry-on bag, according to police.

Joc, whose real name is Jasiel Robinson, was charged Monday with carrying a concealed weapon, a third-degree felony, and could also face a federal charge. He is currently free on a $50,000 bond and his arraignment has been scheduled for Wednesday in Cleveland Municipal Court.

Authorities said that Joc was stopped during the routine airport security check when employees discovered a semiautomatic handgun and ammunition in his bag. The "It's Goin' Down" rapper said that he didn't know the weapon was in there.

He was questioned and arrested without incident, airport commissioner Fred Szabo said.

"Yung Joc maintains his innocence," the MC's attorney, Stanley Jackson Jr., said Monday. "He would appreciate privacy as he addresses these allegations."

According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Joc had performed Saturday at the city's Metropolis nightclub and was on his way home. The 25-year-old is from College Park, Georgia.

Joc's "It's Goin' Down," which he cowrote with Chadron Moore, was nominated for a Grammy Award last year for Best Rap Song. The tune, off his debut album New Joc City, also made it to number three on the Billboard Hot 100.
