According to TMZ, the arrest happened at Hartsfield-Jackson airport in Atlanta on Tuesday night when a TSA agent found a loaded 9-millimeter gun with seven rounds in Benzino’s bag.
Benzino was immediately arrested but was released on $3,000 bail and has since released a personal statement about the matter on his Instagram page.
