Fifth Harmony’s Lauren Jauregui Arrested For Weed At Dulles Airport
Fifth Harmony’s Lauren Jauregui was arrested while trying to get on a plane with marijuana at Dulles Airport.
Law enforcement told TMZ that the Fifth Harmony singer was stopped at a TSA checkpoint and forced to submit to a secondary search. A TSA staffer found what appeared to be a bag of marijuana in Lauren Jauregui’s carry-on luggage.
The police were flagged down in the airport terminal, and the singer was promptly arrested.
The Washington Dulles International Airport is located in Loudoun and Fairfax counties in Virginia, 26 miles west of downtown Washington, D.C. Marijuana is not legal in the state of Virginia.
Lauren, 20, and the other four Fifth Harmony members — Ally Brooke, 23, Normani Hamilton, 20, Camila Cabello, 19, and Dinah Jane Hansen, 19 — were headed to Brazil where they were set to perform on Wednesday night for Vevo’s Fun Pop Festival.

Casually dismissing the president-elect’s entire voter base, she began the scathing letter by stating the following.
“To every single Trump supporter trying to say that voting for Trump does not mean that you are racist, homophobic, sexist, xenophobic, a**holes… this is for you. I am a bisexual Cuban-American woman and I am so proud of it!”.
The post went viral soon after it was posted on Billboard, garnering 5 million hits across social media.
The star responded on Twitter, saying she was “overwhelmed with love.”

Lauren Jauregui is speaking out about the current unrest in Aleppo and she wants her younger fans to get informed and involved.
“My heart goes out to every innocent man, woman, and child that has had their life turn to terror because of greedy men’s quest for legacy.”
The only terror that exists in the world is a false perception of fear via propaganda media..humans fleeing violent wars are REFUGEES.
