Cory Gunz Arrested For Loaded Firearm Possession

It almost feels like a joke that someone with a rapper name of Cory Gunz would be arrested on gun charges, but that's exactly what happened to the young Bronx rapper this weekend. According to MTV, Gunz was nabbed for possession of a loaded weapon yesterday afternoon, which his father confirmed.

Peter Gunz told MTV that he felt his son was illegally searched and added that the police told him they received a call to be on the "look out" for someone matching Cory Gunz' description. Here's what else father Gunz had to say:

According to [the officer], they didn’t know he was Cory Gunz. They just saw a bunch of kids following him around. What I will say is that the officer that arrested Cory, actually happened to be a cool dude. After arresting Cory, sitting down with him and talking, he felt bad about the situation.

At the end of the day, there’s a reason for everything, but at the same time, in New York, it’s mandatory jail time. To go to a precinct and see your son, your junior, in handcuffs, it’s heartbreaking. Anytime you see your child in jail, in the cell, in handcuffs, it’s very hard.

He’s walked down some of the same paths that I walked down, but you never want to see your kids go through what you went through. This is Cory’s first offense, but sometimes they like to make an example out of rappers and people with any kind of celebrity to them.
