North Carolina rapper Petey Pablo was sentenced to 35 months in federal prison at a hearing in the US District Court in New Bern, North Carolina, earlier today, according to reports.

The 38-year-old 'Raise Up' rapper, born Moses Barrett III, was arrested on Sept. 11, 2010, after attempting to smuggle a loaded 9mm handgun through airport security at Raleigh-Durham International Airport, en route to the MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles. After further investigation, the handgun was revealed to have been stolen from a home in Gardena, Calif. back in 2005.

Striking a plea bargain with the prosecution, Petey pleaded guilty to possession of a stolen firearm on March 16, avoiding the other charges stemming from the incident. He faced up to 10 years in prison.
