Jacksonville rapper Yungeen Ace was arrested Monday night in Jacksonville Beach for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Yungeen Ace, real name Keyanta Bullard, was set to appear in front of a judge yesterday afternoon after being booked into the Duval County jail but he waived his first appearance.
The rapper’s SUV Bullard was riding in was pulled over after the driver failed to slow or stop at a four-way intersection and the driver was quickly arrested for driving without a valid license.
After discovering that the driver and passenger were documented gang members, they called for backup and found seven loaded guns inside after searching the vehicle, including a black rifle on the floorboard and a bag with a Draco pistol and black handgun. Yugeen Ace was the back middle passenger of the SUV which had a total of six passengers.
Officers say the rapper had “constructive possession” of three handguns and he was arrested.
