Rapper Petey Pablo Arrested

The rapper Petey Pablo was arrested this morning at a North Carolina airport on weapons charges after he was caught trying to sneak a gun through airport security in a carry-on bag. He was supposedly on his way to Los Angeles and the MTV Video Music Awards. He was charged with carrying a concealed weapon, possession of a firearm by a felon, and possession of a stolen firearm. Since being arrested, he has posted $50,000 bail and has been released. He has to go back to court on Monday. Being that today is September 11th, it is probably not the best day to bring weapons through airport security.
