The Dipset rapper was indicted in April after a grand jury determined there was probable cause to believe he was attempting to smuggle a loaded handgun into Newark Liberty International Airport. Santana was charged with carrying a firearm on an aircraft and possessing a weapon as a previously convicted felon.
Santana allegedly fled from the airport after TSA agents discovered a gun in his baggage on March 9. He surrendered to Port Authority police on March 12.
