Yung Joc did not appear at his arraignment on felony gun charges this morning, and is now considered a fugitive. Cops had arrested the 27-year-old Jasiel Robinson (aka Yung Joc), last Sunday after he tried to go through Cleveland airport security with a semi-automatic weapon. Cuyahoga County assistant prosecutor Gayle Williams told the AP she plans to request a warrant for him. Joc’s attorney, Stanley Jackson Jr., was apologetic and said he was out of town on "personal and family obligations.’" There is no excuse for missing a criminal arraignment, unless there were circumstances beyond Joc’s control. I suppose the judge will make him write "I will not miss court again" fifty times to give the "appearance" that the law applies to even those with a lot of money.

Rapper Yung Joc has been charged with carrying a concealed weapon, after cops say they found a loaded semi-automatic gun in his carry-on bag at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. Joc, real name Jasiel Robinson, was arrested around 6:15 AM Sunday morning, before boarding a Delta flight. He was attempting to go through a regular security checkpoint when police say they found the handgun and ammunition. Cops say the rapper told them he didn’t know the weapon was there. Who packed his bag then?

He was arrested without incident, is now free on $50,000 bail and will be arraigned Wednesday.

His attorney told the AP, "Yung Joc maintains his innocence. He would appreciate privacy as he addresses these allegations."
