American rapper Lil Baby had a run-in with the law as he was arrested after being accused of carrying a concealed weapon without a permit in Las Vegas.
According to court records, the rapper, whose real name is Dominique Armani Jones was carrying a concealed weapon without a permit, reports 'People' magazine.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police told the publication he was arrested on August 26 at about 5:00 am after an incident occurred on the 3100 block of South Las Vegas Boulevard. No other information was available.
Court records reflect, according to the publication, that he was booked into the Clark County Detention Center and posted bond. He is due back in court on October 1.
His attorneys, Drew Findling and David Chesnoff, provided a joint statement to 'The Los Angeles Times', which indicated that Lil Baby has "a valid Georgia Carrying a Concealed Weapon (CCW) Permit." As noted in a report by Ymwilson via NewsOne
"On his behalf, we are actively investigating the facts and circumstances surrounding his arrest in Las Vegas," their statement said.
Per the website of the Attorney General of Georgia, Nevada does not recognize Georgia concealed weapons permits.
"Georgia weapons license holders should familiarize themselves with the individual requirements and limitations on Georgia weapons licenses in any of the states where they may wish to exercise their rights," the website advises. "Weapons laws vary from state to state and there may be municipal or county ordinances regulating weapons in other states."
Lil Baby's most recent album came in 2022 with It's Only Me. He has been teasing his next project on social media and his last post before his arrest read "Album 80% Done."
