Raleigh, NC -- Rapper, Petey Pablo, was arrested Saturday morning at Raleigh-Durham International Airport.
According to warrants and an airport spokeswoman, security found a gun in his luggage. Airport spokeswoman Mindy Hamlin says the 37-year-old was arrested around 6:00am after a Smith & Wesson 639 was found in his carry-on.
Pablo, whose real name is Moses Barrett III, was charged with carrying a concealed weapon, possession of a firearm by a felon and possession of a stolen firearm.
According to a Wake County magistrate, Pablo was trying to catch a flight to Los Angeles for the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards. He posted $50,000 bond and gave the jailers some of his CDs before he left, according to jail officials.
His first court appearance is Monday.
Pablo lives in Knightdale, northeast of Raleigh. In 1993 he was arrested in Raleigh on armed robbery charges and sentenced to 14 years.
He is best known for his hit songs "Raise Up" and "Freek-a-Leek."
