AceShowbiz - Lil Pump was arrested on Wednesday, February 14 after he fired a gun at his home. Law enforcement sources told TMZ that Pump's manager called police to report that three men were trying to forcibly open the front door of the rapper's San Fernando Valley home, with one suspect firing a gun once through the door.
When police arrived at the scene, they did find a bullet hole in the front door. However, they didn't see any suspect and the lone bullet hole in the door appeared to come from inside the residence. They also said that 17-year-old Pump had been smoking marijuana before they arrived.
A few hours later, police returned with a search warrant and found a handgun in the bushes below the balcony. The weapon was unloaded, but police found bullets and marijuana inside his home. Pump was eventually arrested for discharging a weapon in an inhabited place.
Pump's mom could also face charges. She wasn't home at the time of the incident, but police said that she is now under investigation for endangering a minor and having an unsecured gun at home.
The rapper was booked into the Los Angeles Central Juvenile Hall and released shortly after. When TMZ caught him leaving the court, he appeared to be not taking the case seriously and even laughed it off.
"Aye man, we got rich lawyers. Real lawyers. The best lawyers in the planet," he told the publication. After getting into his car, Pump, who is now on house arrest, proudly showed off his ankle bracelet. "Aye, listen. See my ankle?" he said before singing his hit track "Gucci Gang". Pump changed the lyrics to "house arrest," though.
Now that he's on house arrest, it's unclear if this will affect his music career. Pump recently announced the title of his upcoming project, "Harvard Dropout", which is the follow-up to his self-titled debut album. He is also expected to release a joint mixtape with Lil Yachty.
