Lil Baby Arrested In Las Vegas For Gun Possession

Lil Baby was arrested on Monday (August 26) and booked on gun possession charges after being caught with a handgun inside a Las Vegas nightclub. According to reports, Lil Baby was arrested and held on a $5,000 bond but was released from custody after posting the amount.

TMZ reports that Lil Baby, real name Dominique Jones, was at the Encore resort in Las Vegas and was found with a weapon on his person that he was not permitted to carry according to a breaking news report from TMZ. The outlet says that the Atlanta rapper was handed the firearm by another individual and the act was witnessed by an unknown individual but sparked police to investigate the matter.

In a statement, the attorney for Lil Baby wrote, “To be clear, Dominique Jones has a valid Georgia Carrying a Concealed Weapon (CCW) Permit. On his behalf, we are actively investigating the facts and circumstances surrounding his arrest in Las Vegas.”

A Georgia CCW permit would not be valid in the state of Nevada.

The My Turn star has not made any public statement regarding the arrest, nor have any details emerged regarding why he was given the firearm or who was responsible for handing it over to him.

Lil Baby is due in Las Vegas on October 1 for a hearing related to the charges.
