Hit ‘Em with the Draco: Soulja Boy Charged with Felony Gun Possession

Soulja Boy’s online antics may have finally caught up with him because the rapper has been charged with illegally possessing firearms, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced Monday, Jan. 23.

Soulja Boy, whose real name is DeAndre Cortez Way, was arrested at his Hollywood Hills home on Dec. 15 after police found him with a .45 caliber Glock 21 handgun and a Mini Draco AR-IS assault rifle, officials said.

He has been charged with one count each of possession of an assault weapon, felon in possession of a firearm, unlawful firearm activity and misdemeanor receiving stolen property. According to The AP, DA officials said the handgun was reported stolen out of a Huntington Beach police vehicle.

Soulja Boy, 26, is scheduled to be arraigned Monday and faces more than four years in prison if convicted as charged.

As previously reported, the viral star was arrested on suspicion of violating his probation after police found a firearm in his Hollywood Hills home. Although the reason for the call is unknown call, many are speculating the arrest was the result after someone snitched on the rapper for threatening people online.

While officers were on the scene responding to the Crime Stoppers tip, they reportedly found a firearm, which due to being on probation from the 2014 incident also involving a gun, Soulja Boy is not allowed to own or possess, resulting in his arrest.

The 26-year-old Chicago native was arrested in January 2014 in Granada Hills on suspicion of possessing a loaded gun. He was a passenger in a car when police pulled the driver over for allegedly running a stop sign.

The rapper also was arrested on felony drug and weapons charges in 2011 after a traffic stop in Georgia.

Talk about doing too much, it looks like that fight with Chris Brown might be postponed because Soulja has more serious trouble on the way.
