Polo G was reportedly arrested in downtown Los Angeles on Monday (September 6) at 4:50 p.m. local time. TMZreports the 22-year-old Chicagoan was taken into custody after police pulled over the vehicle he was in and allegedly discovered a concealed gun on his person.
Police say he was a passenger in the car, but it’s unclear why he and the driver were initially pulled over. A male juvenile was also busted and booked on the same charge.
According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office website, Polo G — real name Taurus Bartlett — was released on Tuesday (September 7) around 5:25 a.m. local time after posting $35,000 bail. His next court date is scheduled for January 6, 2022.
