…and they’re saying that Antonia “Toya” Carter’s slow husband, Mickey “Memphitz” Wright Jr., was arrested for attempting to sneak a loaded handgun past airport security. We wonder if it was this little pink pistol that Toya’s former fiance, James Hardy, bought her for her birthday? It will be interesting to see what is listed under “occupation” on Memphitz’s police report.
Carter and Wright were recently wed in a private ceremony in a suburb of Atlanta. The couple have no children together. Carter has a daughter with rapper Lil Wayne, who wiped out on a skateboard yesterday and required stitches to close a gash on his head.
Update: According to TMZ.com, which is surprisingly late with this news:
Law enforcement tells TMZ, Mickey “Memphitz” Wright put his backpack through the X-ray scanner at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport — and TSA agents quickly discovered the firearm and called the cops.
According to police, Wright had a valid license to carry the weapon … insisting he had simply forgotten the gun was in his bag — but it’s still illegal to bring it on a plane.
Wright was arrested on the spot and transferred to a nearby jail. He is still in custody.
Oops. Toya must be frantic with worry for her man in Fulton County jail.
