Rapper Lil Baby has been released from custody on bond in Las Vegas after being arrested for carrying a concealed weapon without a permit. The 29-year-old Atlanta-born rapper, whose legal name is Dominique Armani Jones, was taken into custody on a suspicion of carrying a concealed weapon charge while on the north end of the Las Vegas Strip. His attorneys stated that Jones possesses a valid Georgia Carrying a Concealed Weapon (CCW) Permit and are investigating the circumstances of his arrest in Las Vegas.

Nevada does not recognize Georgia's weapons carry license. Court records show that no charges were filed against Jones, and he was released after posting a $5000 bond. He is scheduled to appear in Clark County court on Oct. 1. Requests for records from Las Vegas Police and Clark County courts are pending.
