As we reported earlier, GBE rapper Lil Reese was arrested by police early Sunday morning after being discovered sleeping in a car. The Chicago emcee was taken in because of an outstanding warrant from last year stemming from trespassing charges. However, it would appear that that's not the only reason cops nabbed him -- it was also because of the footage of Reese viciously beating a woman which popped up online last year.
The Chicago Tribune reports:
"South Side rapper Lil Reese's Sunday arrest on a felony warrant is tied to a 2012 videotaped incident in which he purportedly beat and stomped a woman in her Champaign home, police said Monday. Video of the attack went viral late last year, with thousands of people voicing outrage on social media over Lil Reese's actions. Taylor appeared in Cook County Bond Court on Sunday. It was unclear as of noon Monday if or when he would be transferred to Champaign County. The warrant paperwork states he is to be held in lieu of $100,000."
