Petey Pablo is facing ten years in jail after pleading guilty to possession of a stolen weapon yesterday afternoon. The North Carolina rapper was caught with the weapon on September 11, 2010 while trying to board a flight at Raleigh-Durham Airport to Los Angeles for the 2010 MTV VMAs.

One of the more disturbing trends we noticed in 2010 was the staggering number of rappers who ended up in jail.

North Carolina rapper Petey Pablo is expected to turn himself in to authorities today (October 13th), on an arrest warrant for possession of a firearm by a felon, after he attempted to smuggle a gun on a plane on September 11th, 2010.

Petey Pablo claims the gun found in his suitcase at Raleigh-Durham International Airport on September 11 wasn’t his, and that he was hiding it from an associate of his.
