Police say they've arrested an Atlanta rapper they say tried to go through an airport security checkpoint with a loaded gun.
Atlanta police say 21-year-old Harold Duncan Jr. of the Atlanta rap group Travis Porter had a Glock .45 caliber handgun in his carry-on luggage. The Transportation Security Administration says the gun was discovered around 8 a.m. Wednesday.
Duncan was being held in Clayton County jail without bond. A jail official says he'll have his first court appearance Thursday at 1:30 p.m. It wasn't immediately clear whether he had a lawyer. A media contact listed on the group's website didn't immediately respond to an email Wednesday evening.
The TSA says passengers can transport unloaded guns in a proper carrying case in checked luggage, but firearms are prohibited in carry-on bags. Duncan performs under the name "Strap" in Travis Porter, who were scheduled to perform in New York on Wednesday.
