Waka Flocka, the alias of Juaquin James Malphurs, turned himself in Monday to Henry County authorities. He's being held on $31,950 bond on charges including drug and weapons possession as well as criminal street gang activity and a probation violation, according to jail records.

It'll be Malphurs' second stint in jail this year. He was arrested in Houston County last March for leaving Georgia for a concert, which violated his probation from a 2006 incident. At the time he pleaded guilty to possession of a sawed-off shotgun and received four years probation, according to the Houston County Superior Court Clerk's office.

In December police arrested two people at Malphurs' Henry County home for possession of a minor amount of marijuana. The 24-year-old rapper was not home at the time.
