Juelz Santana has been arrested on multiple drug and weapons charges after a 10-month investigation, authorities said Wednesday.
A search warrant executed last month at Santana’s Washington Avenue recording studio turned up two fully-loaded 9mm handguns and 17 bags of suspected marijuana, said John L. Molinelli, the Bergen County prosecutor.
Santana, 28, of Teaneck, whose real name is Laron James, was charged on Wednesday with possession of a firearm and a controlled dangerous substance, possession of a handgun without having a permit, possession with intent to distribute a controlled dangerous substance, and possession with intent to distribute a controlled dangerous substance within 1,000 feet of a school zone.
The Bergen Country prosecutor says Juelz is believed to be a member of the Bloods street gang.
He is currently being held at the Bergen County jail on $125,000 bail.
