Rapper Polo G was busted on gun charges when a maid at a swanky lower Manhattan hotel found a loaded Glock in his room, officials said Thursday.
Taurus Bartlett, 25, was arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court on charges of criminal possession of a weapon and criminal possession of a firearm after police recovered a loaded gun at the Dominick Hotel on Spring Street in SoHo.
The California-based rapper — known for his Billboard charting debut album “Die a Legend” — was staying at the posh hotel when a maid who was cleaning his room found the gun, Manhattan prosecutors said.

Cops were called to the hotel and found a black Glock on a loveseat inside Polo G’s room, according to a criminal complaint. The gun had a bullet in the chamber and nine bullets in the magazine, the complaint said.
Polo G’s attorney Stacey Richman argued the rapper was focused on his rap career in a plea for no bail.
