Atlanta rapper Yung Joc finally appear in court late yesterday (Dec. 26), after being considered a fugitive for being tardy.

Cleveland Municipal Court Judge Michael Ryan went as far as issuing an arrest warrant for Joc after he missed his scheduled court appearance yesterday, according to Reuters.

Yung Joc, who is charged with having a gun in his carry-on bag at an airport, was initially freed on $50,000 bond. Though the judge scolded Joc, who denies knowing about the gun, he allowed the rapper to remain free on bond.

The rapper's lawyer apologized, citing family obligations as the reason for his lateness. His next scheduled court appearance is January 25th.

The concealed weapons charge that Joc faces carries a potential 18-month prison term.
