Rap star G Herbo arrested in Chicago over alleged illegal gun possession
Rap artist G Herbo speaks during the annual Peace Rally and Stop the Violence March at the Faith Community of St. Sabina, June 16, 2023, in Chicago.
The 27-year-old rap star, whose legal name is Herbert Wright III, was charged with misdemeanor unlawful use of a weapon and bonded out of police custody Monday morning, according to court records.Officers pulled over the Cadillac Escalade the star lyricist had been riding in for failing to use a turn signal at the River North intersection of Wabash Avenue and Ontario Street at 5:42 p.m.,
As police approached the car, they saw Wright, who was in the back seat, move his hands toward the front center console, according to a police report.Officers determined the move was “indicative with someone attempting to conceal contraband.” They then asked the car’s driver if there were guns in the car. He denied three times while appearing “concerned and nervous,” a police report said.
Inside the center console, police found a black Glock 33 pistol that was “uncased, loaded, and immediately accessible,” the police report said. The semi-automatic handgun and its magazine held numerous .357 SIG cartridges, police said.
