Yung Joc failed to show up for his arraignment today (Dec. 26) on a felony charge of carrying a concealed weapon.

The rapper is now considered a fugitive, said a prosecutor said, according to the Associated Press.

Joc stands accused of attempting to take a loaded gun onto a Delta Air Lines flight Sunday and was charged with carrying a concealed weapon.

Cuyahoga County assistant prosecutor Gayle Williams said Joc was now considered a fugitive, and she planned to request a warrant for him.

Joc's attorney, Stanley Jackson Jr., said that the rapper was out of town on "personal and family obligations."

As previously reported, Joc was arrested at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport as airport security found a semiautomatic handgun and ammunition in his carryon bag.
