West Coast rapper Too Short reportedly caught a huge break this week after fleeing an airport when he realized a loaded gun was left in his luggage during a security checkpoint.
Details of what all went down yesterday (October 3) surfaced Friday.
The rapper was at Burbank Airport Thursday when he put his bag on the conveyor belt, and as it rolled he realized there was a loaded gun inside. We’re told his reaction was immediately — GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE.
Problem is … Short’s wallet and shoes were also on the conveyor, so he left in his socks and without cash.
We’re told Too Short got in his car, drove off and called his lawyer and asked what to do. We’re told the lawyer told him to go on his merry way and the lawyer would clean up the mess. (TMZ)
You’ll never guess what type of punishment Short Dog received according to this…
Short reportedly relied on his attorney to help him avoid serving jail time.
So according to our sources … Short’s lawyer, Keith Davidson, went to Burbank Airport and convinced authorities to merely ticket his client for misdemeanor firearms possession and not arrest him. Meanwhile … we’re told Too Short went to nearby Van Nuys Airport and took a private jet to SFO. (TMZ)
Last year, the California rapper came forward to speak on trying to resist an arrest.
“I just ran all the way out to Miami, man,” Short said in an interview when jokingly told he might be running in the next Olympics Games. “I had to get the hell up out of LA. I only got one thing to say, man, if I would have hit that corner, y’all would have seen a whole different Short you’ve never seen. If I wouldn’t have tripped, you would have never seen me. They’d have had the helicopters out on the morning news — it’s one thing y’all don’t realize though. I was across the street from my house. I was about to run home.” (Shade 45)
Earlier in the year, reports claimed police mistakenly accused Short of possessing meth.
TMZ broke the story … after Too Short lamely tried to flee the scene (see video below) he was charged with possession of a controlled substance believed to be meth, but law enforcement sources now tell us the criminal complaint has been amended to reflect the controlled substance in question was actually MDMA. But here’s the deal … It doesn’t matter to Mr. Short, because his defense is simple — he didn’t have any drugs, and whatever was found in the back of the cruiser must have been left by the previous prisoner. Prisoners — they really need to learn to pick up after themselves. (TMZ)
