Juelz Santana Being Held Pending Hearing For Gun At Airport
Rapper Juelz Santana will remain in federal custody pending a preliminary hearing on charges he attempted to carry a handgun aboard a plane leaving from Newark Liberty International Airport, a magistrate judge ruled Mon- day.
Santana, whose legal name is Laron James, ap- peared in court Monday after- noon, just hours after he was taken into custody by Port Au- thority police detectives.
Juelz Santana fled the air- port after TSA agents found a gun in his luggage. He turned himself in and was arrested.
Santana had been waiting to board a flight from Newark to San Francisco on Friday when security personnel dis-
covered a .38-caliber derringer pistol in his carry-on bag.
When the bag was pulled aside for additional screening, the investigator said, he fled the airport without his belong- ings or identification.
Santana had a 2013 state conviction for drug distribu- tion.
In addition to attempting to bring a firearm on board an aircraft, Latzer said, James is charged with possessing a firearm as a convicted felon.
