Hip-hop exec charged with gun possession in NYC

NEW YORK (AP) — A rising hip-hop record executive was arrested driving through New York City today with a gun loaded with hollow-point bullets in his car, authorities said.

RCA Music Group senior vice president Bryan Leach, who has worked with a roster of rappers including Lil Jon and the bilingual Spanish/English artist Pitbull, didn't enter a plea at his arraignment on weapons-possession charges.

Leach was pulled over for driving erratically in Manhattan shortly after midnight, prosecutors said. The .380-caliber, semiautomatic pistol gun was in the car's central console, the six bullets inside, according to a court complaint.

Hollow-point bullets expand after impact, a feature that can make injuries worse.
