NEW ORLEANS (AP) - New Orleans police say a prominent local hip-hop artist was arrested in eastern New Orleans and booked into jail on a felony gun charge.

Police say 28-year-old Christopher Dorsey, who raps under the moniker B.G., or Baby Gangsta, was arrested Tuesday night following a traffic stop in which officers recovered three guns, 2 of which were reported stolen.

Police told The Times-Picayune that Dorsey was arrested along with the two others in the vehicle, 17-year-old Demounde Pollard and 28-year-old Jerod Fedison.

According to court records, Fedison and Dorsey were each booked with illegal carrying of a firearm. Pollard was booked on multiple drug charges and two counts of illegal possession of stolen firearms, and a count of illegal carrying of a weapon.

It wasn't immediately clear if suspects have attorneys.
