The hip hop star whose real name is Barry Reese was taken in Saturday for questioning about one killing and two attempted murders in Philadelphia. He already had a warrant out on him for violating probation and was considered a "high risk" suspect as he was thought to be armed and dangerous. Cassidy who's most well-known single is 2005’s “I’m a Hustla,” which reached No. 8 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop charts was followed by cops to a local convenience store, Lt Timothy Lloyd said and after being positively identified Reese: “the ERT units moved in and
conducted a felony motor vehicle stop.”
Reese “was very surprised,” Lloyd added saying the officers who arrested the rapper “did an outstanding job,” he said.
"Without the proper teamwork going on, this could have spiraled out of control quickly.”
The rapper has already been convicted of involuntary manslaughter in a 2006 shooting case and sentenced to 11 and a half to 23 months in jail.
