Yung Joc Wants To Clear His Name On Gun Charges

When Yung Joc was arrested Sunday at a Cleveland Hopkins International Airport security checkpoint after police found a semiautomatic handgun and ammunition in his carry-on bag, the rapper told police he didn’t know the gun was there. Now, the 27-year-old has issued a statement on the matter. “I have the utmost respect for the laws of this country and would never deliberately commit an act that would jeopardize my freedom, my family, or my career,” he said, according to The Associated Press. Yung Joc is out on $50,000 bond and is due back in court January 25th on the felony charge that carries up to 18 months in jail.
