Judge lets Yung Joc stay free
A Cleveland judge scolded rapper Yung Joc for being late to court but allowed him to remain free on bond on a charge of having a gun in his carry-on bag at the city’s airport, authorities said.
The Atlanta-based Joc, whose real name is Jasiel Robinson, was arrested Sunday morning at a security checkpoint at Cleveland’s airport with a handgun and armor-piercing ammunition in his luggage. At the time, Robinson denied knowing about the gun.
He was freed on $50,000 bond, but Cleveland Municipal Court Judge Michael Ryan issued an arrest warrant for Robinson after he missed a scheduled Wednesday morning court appearance.
The performer, who earned a Grammy nomination for “It’s Goin’ Down,” showed up in the afternoon. He was ordered to appear again Jan. 25.
