Rapper Coolio Charged With Felony Firearm Possession At LAX

Rapper Coolio has been charged with felony firearm possession after being arrested at Los Angeles International Airport on Sunday, September 17.

As previously reported, Coolio, 53, and his bodyguard were arrested at LAX after a loaded firearm was discovered in the Grammy-winning rapper’s backpack as the bag

“On September 17, 2016, at approximately 10:50 a.m., Los Angeles Airport Police responded to Terminal 3 for a report of a prohibited item at TSA screening,” an LAPD public information officer told Us at the time. “Upon arrival, airport police immediately took possession of a carry-on bag in the X-ray screening belt and detained a 39-year-old black male [the bodyguard] who claimed possession of the bag.”

Coolio had already made his way onto an aircraft when authorities determined the bag belonged to the artist based on items in the carry-on, according to Reuters.

The “Gangsta’s Paradise” rapper was then removed from the airplane and detained by police. As previously reported, an LAX police spokesperson said that Coolio “claimed ownership and possession of the carry-on bag.”

According to Reuters, if convicted, the rapper could face up to three years in state prison.
