Too Short Busted in Airport for Loaded Weapon

One of our favorite people, rapper Too Short Busted in Airport for Loaded Weapon at Bob Hope Airport a day after fleeing a security checkpoint.

CelebNMusic247.com knows Tod aka Too Short and knows that the incident is probably a misunderstanding, but pageSix.com is reporting otherwise.

What we are hearing is that Too Short was cited at Bob Hope Airport a day after fleeing a security checkpoint when a screener found a loaded handgun in his carry-on luggage.

Here’s the drop:

Burbank police Sgt. John Pfrommer says the rapper, born Todd Anthony Shaw, was passing through the checkpoint Wednesday when a Transportation Security Administration employee noticed the handgun going through a baggage scanner.

The rapper, 48, fled the building, leaving his belongings behind.

Pfrommer says Too Short returned to the airport on Thursday with his attorney and was cited on misdemeanor possession of a loaded handgun in a public place.

He was released and is due in court Nov. 3. Police didn’t know who the rapper’s attorney is.  Too Short rose to prominence in the late 1980s out of Oakland. His hits include “Life Is … Too Short” and “Blow the Whistle.”
