Former “Love & Hip Hop” cast member Benzino can breathe a sigh of relief after avoiding a year in prison for a publicized gun possession arrest earlier this year.
According to reports, Zino will have to deal with a year of probation.
The former “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” star pled no contest to putting his loaded 9mm through a TSA checkpoint in Atlanta. He says he took the wrong laptop bag. Benzino was sentenced to one year of probation, a $500 fine, 700 hours community service, and a crash course in gun safety … which he has 60 days to complete. (TMZ)
Zino jumped onto his Instagram page to address the headline-generating bust in late January.
Zino also released a few clips to address the gun arrest reports.
Details of the shocking bust landed online in late January.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, Benzino put his carry-on bag on the conveyor belt at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. A suspicious TSA employee dug inside and found a loaded 9 millimeter firearm with 7 rounds in the magazine. Benzino didn’t make his flight to L.A., but he did get his very own escort to the local jail. He was released on $3K bail. (TMZ)
