Fifth Harmony's Lauren Jauregui was arrested for possession of marijuana.

TMZ reports that the singer was caught with what appeared to be a bag of weed in her carry-on luggage during a secondary search at Dulles International Airport in Virginia.

Fifth Harmony performed in Washington D.C. as part of the Jingle Ball tour on Dec. 12. The band was en route to play a show in Brazil tonight and has made no announcements about a change of plans.

Possession of marijuana is a misdemeanor in Virginia punishable by a $500 fine or 30 days in jail.

Mashable has reached out to representatives for Fifth Harmony for comment and will update this post accordingly.
