Blocboy JB Arrested On Felony Gun Possession
Blocboy JB was arrested on Friday in Shelby County, Tennessee and charged with felony possession of a handgun by a convicted felon. He also faces the misdemeanor charges of speeding, possession of drug paraphernalia, and marijuana possession.
The Memphis rapper was arrested in a Tennessee home along with 20 other individuals in a raid that was the result of a “multi-agency investigation,” according to reports from FOX 13 Memphis. Blocboy’s attorney told the station that another individual was the target of the raid. “They weren’t looking for [JB], and there was no warrant for him personally,” attorney Murray Wells said to FOX 13. “They may have been looking for other suspects on the premises.”
The rapper was also arrested in Shelby County on drug and weapons charges back in February.
