2 Chainz Arrested at New York Airport… 2 Chainz was arrested in the Delta terminal at LaGuardia airport in Queens, New York this afternoon. Cops say he was charged with misdemeanor possession of a criminal weapon and taken into custody after the TSA found brass knuckles in his bag.

He remains in police custody. (via The Fader…)
