On Wednesday (December 19th) Veteran rapper Juelz Santana was sentenced to 27 months in prison, after pleading guilty to possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, carrying a weapon on an aircraft, and possession of a controlled dangerous substance. TMZ broke the story.
This is stemming from the incident that occurred in March 2018 when he tried to take a loaded .38-caliber gun and some oxycodone pills in his travel bag at Newark International Airport. When TSA recovered the items, Santana fled the scene. He later turned himself in.
