Polo G was reportedly arrested by Los Angeles law enforcement on Saturday afternoon (October 19) for felony gun possession, local officials allegedly relayed to TMZ Hip Hop. According to this report and sources, police pulled him over in the San Fernando Valley for speeding and found a loaded handgun upon searching his car. They booked the Hood Poet rapper for felony possession of a concealed weapon and took him to jail. At press time, it's unclear what his status is, if he has any legal developments to account for, or if this will impact other cases that recently impacted him.
For example, authorities arrested Polo G back in April for similar charges after hotel staff allegedly found a gun in his room. These incidents don't relate to each other, but their proximity causes even more concern given the fact that his Hood Poet tour is scheduled to begin in just three days (Thursday, October 24) as of writing this article. Per this TMZ Hip Hop report based on law enforcement sources, authorities haven't released the Chicago MC from custody yet. This is still a very early story in development, so take things with a grain of salt and keep your eyes peeled for more updates.

Meanwhile, Polo G fans are on the edge of their seats concerning this new arrest.

Hopefully things clear up, pan out, settle themselves in court with no further hiccups, and don't continue to emerge as obstacles in his path. Any small mistake can lead to big consequences...
