Yikes, things aren’t going so great for Juelz Santana.

A Grand Jury indicted the New York rapper on one count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and carrying a weapon onto an aircraft after TSA officers found a loaded .38 caliber pistol and eight pills of oxycodone in his checked luggage as he waited to board a flight back in March.

The Port Authority Police said Juelz immediately fled the scene in a taxi, but turned himself into police a few days later.

The feds said that Juelz – whose real name is Laron James – tried to get on the plane with the “concealed, dangerous weapon,” that he would have had access to during the flight, according to his indictment.

The rapper’s indictment carries with it two felony convictions: carrying a firearm on an aircraft and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He also faces up to 20 years in prison.
