Jay Rock arrested in Los Angeles for weapon possession
Rapper Jay Rock was arrested in Los Angeles on Thursday for weapon possession. Initially detained for trespassing and drinking in public, police found a firearm in his vehicle after he attempted to flee the scene. The 39-year-old artist, known for his work with Kendrick Lamar, was held overnight in jail. This incident follows a previous arrest in 2009 related to a shooting, from which he was acquitted. Jay Rock is a founding member of the hip-hop group Black Hippy and has collaborated with several artists, including Kendrick Lamar. His recent legal troubles have shifted attention away from his music career.
