Zonnique Pullins, stepdaughter of rapper T.I. was arrested and charged with carrying a weapon without a permit at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta on June 16.
According to the police report, the 20-year-old daughter of R-and-B singer Tameka 'Tiny' Harris brought a 380 Ruger semi-automatic pistol into the airport, attempting to pass a TSA checkpoint, reports People Magazine.
She was taken to Clayton County Jail after being unable to provide a permit indicating she could legally carry the weapon.
Pullins was later released at 2:09 a.m. on June 17.
Her cousin Tamara Whitaker spoke out on Instagram following Zonnique's release.
"Zonnique did get caught with her registered weapon but like most of us she just forgot it was in her really big purse. We were taught in my family that people are crazy out here and carrying a small gun to protect yourself is what's needed," Whitaker captioned Pullins' mugshot.
In her post, she continued: "With the late shootings and death of a pop star all in Orlando just this week, I think it's very appropriate that she carries a gun just not to the airport maybe lol. But my girl is home and good.
