Tierra Whack Arrested After Allegedly Having A Loaded Gun At The Airport
On Tuesday (November 8), Tierra Whack was reportedly detained and cited for disorderly conduct after she allegedly brought a loaded gun into an airport in her hometown of Philadelphia.
According to TMZ, the lyricist’s bag was searched by Homeland Security officials at an X-ray checkpoint inside Philadelphia International Airport when they discovered a firearm loaded with six live rounds in the magazine and none in the chamber.
Authorities believe the incident was an honest mistake, the outlet reports, as Whack wasn’t intentionally trying to bring the weapon onboard, nor did she intend to hurt someone.
In Pennsylvania, Whack is licensed to carry a firearm, but it is against federal law to bring one on an airplane. The gun was reportedly confiscated and Tierra was issued a disorderly conduct citation. She was released after a short detention.
It isn’t currently clear what further disciplinary action will come against the Whack World artist.
