More Details On Lil Baby’s Recent Arrest In Las Vegas
According to TMZ , Lil Baby, whose real name is Dominique Jones, was arrested in the city on the evening of Monday, August 26. The outlet adds that Baby was reportedly booked for possessing an illegal weapon or “carrying a concealed weapon without a permit.”
Furthermore, the outlet adds that Baby was taken to the Clark County Detention Center and held on a $5,000 bail.
