Polo G‘s New York City trip to gear up for his long-delayed 4th album came to a screeching halt on Wednesday … ’cause he was busted for gun possession.
Our law enforcement sources tell us … the NYPD’s 1st Precinct was notified that an employee of The Dominick Hotel found a loaded firearm inside one of their rooms.
We’re told officers were able to ID Polo as being the occupant of the room … and our sources say it was registered under his name, Taurus Bartlett, and the DOB also matched up.
Manhattan District Attorney’s Office executed a search warrant for the hotel room and found a loaded Glock 23 firearm inside the bedroom side of the hotel room.
We’re told a firearm trace came back negative and the weapon wasn’t flagged as stolen … and an arrest warrant for Polo was drawn up as a result. NYPD officers arrested Polo around 12:50 PM Wednesday and charged him with Criminal Possession of a Weapon in both the 2nd and 3rd degree.

Cops also say Polo was carrying more than $23k in cash at the time of his arrest. It’s been a rough few months for Polo and his family.
We broke the initial story in November … Polo’s caught a separate gun charge and his brother Trench Baby was arrested for murder in California.
To make matters worse, Polo’s mother and sister just engaged in a very nasty spat on social media that started with a fistfight on Easter Sunday.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
We just caught Polo in NYC this week … he was genuinely excited about finally launching his “Hood Poet” album and promised big surprises along the way.
Unclear if we’ll be hearing those new tunes anytime soon.
