Although he has been denying the reports, A spokesman for the L.A. airport police tells E! News that hip-hop pioneer Kurtis Blow (real name Kurtis Walker Combs) was arrested for drug possession.
Authorities told the celebrity news site that Blow submitted to a TSA security screening at approximately 5:45 a.m. and underwent a body scan that discovered an abnormality. TSA agents subsequently administered a pat-down and turned up a bag of marijuana. As is typical in these cases, since the amount found was less than an ounce (28.5 grams to be exact), authorities confiscated the pot (wonder who’s taking that home?) and issued him a misdemeanor citation.
Information from TMZ.com and E! News contributed to this report.
