Rapper Jackboy seems to have landed himself on the wrong side of the law recently as he was arrested for possession of a gun.

According to TMZ, it was stated by the Monroe County police that they pulled over the blue Lamborghini SUV Jackboy was traveling. This took place last month when a police officer noticed the driver failed to maintain his lane.

As stated by the report, the office smelled marijuana, due to which he called in other officers for backup to initiate a search of the vehicle.

Two unregistered firearms were discovered during the search, in the passenger side glove box where Jackboy was sitting. The guns were found to be a 9mm and a Glock. Jackboy claimed that he was unaware the the guns were in the vehicle.

However, the back seat passenger claimed they were his. It was then discovered he was a convicted felon and that it was illegal for him to be within arms reach of a firearm.

The rapper was subsequently arrested and charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He then paid the $2,500 bond on the same day and was released.
