Tory Lanezwas reportedly detained at a Las Vegas airport over the weekend after Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents allegedly found marijuana on his person, PEOPLE can confirm.
The rapper, 29 — whose real name Daystar Shemuel Shua Peterson — was allegedly detained at the travel hub early on Sunday morning when authorities reportedly found a “large” amount of weed in one of his bags,TMZreported.
After being temporarily detained, Lanez was allowed to leave without the marijuana he was carrying.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department tells PEOPLE that “it was determined that [Lanez] would not be arrested due to the fact the marijuana did not amount to trafficking weight.” The case, authorities said, will now be forwarded to the Clark County District Attorney’s Office.
A representative for Lanez, as well as one for the Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
After his alleged detainment, Lanez shared a series of posts on his Instagram Story promoting a gig that he later booked for that same night at the Drai nightclub at Caesar’s Palace.
“Vegasssss I’ll be in the f—ing city tonight!!!!!!' he said in one post, as he added in another: “Vegasssss @DraisLV Letssss f— thiiissss upppppppp tonighhhttt.”
