G-Unit Rappers Arrested In NYC

G-Unit rappers Lloyd Banks and Young Buck were arrested on felony gun possession charges after a concert at Madison Square Garden, police said.

Banks, whose real name is Chris Lloyde, and Young Buck, whose real name is David Brown, were riding in a van with 10 other men that allegedly ran a red light at about 11:30 p.m. Monday near the corner of West 41st Street and Eighth Avenue, authorities said.

Police said one of the 12 men was carrying a loaded handgun and another weapon was found on the floor of the van. All the occupants were charged with gun possession.

Lloyde, a 23-year-old from New York, and Brown, a 24-year-old from Nashville, Tenn., had just performed at nearby Madison Square Garden on the "Anger Management 3" tour, which stars Eminem and 50 Cent, another member of G-Unit.

Authorities said Lloyde and Brown were released without bail Tuesday.

Their lawyer, Scott Leemon, refused to comment.

Brown is already facing charges that he stabbed a man during a fight at the Vibe Awards in Los Angeles in November. He has pleaded innocent, but must stand trail on an assault charge.

Young Buck is signed to Dr. Dre's record label, and his first solo album, "Straight Outta Ca$hville," debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard charts in August.
