ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - A cast member of the hit reality TV show “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” was arrested at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on Wednesday.

Erica Banks, whose legal name is Erica Breaux, faces one count of theft by receiving stolen property, Atlanta police said.

According to a police report, officers were called to the Lower North checkpoint after a TSA X-ray machine flagged a 380 mm handgun in Breaux’s Louis Vuitton bag. The handgun had one magazine with six rounds and was not in a holster, according to officers.

Breaux told police she didn’t know the gun was in the bag and that it belonged to her security, although police said she didn’t give a name. The firearm had been registered as stolen out of Greenville, South Carolina, the report said.
