Boosie was in San Diego to shoot a music video and had a scheduled performance at the Phantom Lounge and Nightclub in the Gaslamp Quarter. The 40-year-old rapper faced one count of felony possession of a firearm by a prohibited person. If convicted, he could have faced a maximum sentence of three years in state prison.

While Boosie's gun case was dismissed during his court appearance, federal agents apprehended him inside the courtroom regarding another legal matter, as stated by a spokesperson from the San Diego District Attorney's Office.

Presently, details surrounding the circumstances leading to Boosie's arrest remain unknown.

This arrest is the latest encounter with law enforcement for the "Wipe Me Down" rapper. Boosie previously served a five-year prison sentence in Louisiana for drug charges.
