Cassidy arrested for murder

Smh this dude just beat a murder and now hes booked for possibly another one.

"The Philly rapper was arrested for violating his probation, but is suspected in a murder.

Rapper Cassidy was arrested yesterday in Hackensack, New Jersey on several charges. The Philadelphia, Pennsylvania native, whose real name is Barry Reese, was nabbed on a warrant for violating his probation, but was suspected in a murder and two attempted murders in Philly.

According to sources, the Philadelphia Police warrant squad reached out to Hackensack Police Department to inform them that Cassidy, who lives in the Jersey city, had a warrant out for his arrest. They notified the squad that Cassidy was considered “armed and dangerous” and that it was a “high-risk warrant.”

Police were dispatched and followed Cassidy as he went to a local convenience store, confirming his identity and conducting a “felony motor vehicle stop.” Hackensack police Lt. Timothy Lloyd commended the officers for doing “an outstanding job,” and claimed that Cassidy was “very surprised” that he was arrested.

The 28-year-old is currently being held in the Bergen County Jail Annex and will be extradited to Philadelphia. He is most famous for singles including “I’m a Hustla” and “My Drink n My 2 Step.”

Rapper Cassidy is a man? lol...

 

If you don't know who he is, why are you posting on my thread?

 

They always do it as they think they are untouchable.

Only 50 cent can absorb bullets anyways, so if it turned bad on them.

 

Sorry, I thought it was a typo. I clicked your link and I couldn't find the story. His music's alright, but what I want to know is why he wasn't in jail longer for this: "On January 25, 2006 Cassidy was convicted of involuntary manslaughter, two counts of aggravated assault and possession of an instrument of crime for his involvement in the shooting. He was sentenced to 11 to 23 months in prison plus probation and was credited with the 7 months he had already served." -Wikipedia

Any of us "normal people" would be in jail longer than that for these crimes.

 

Sad.. didn't even hear bout him getting arrested

 

The news is too pre occupied with more important things like lieing to use for biased election results and sport ATM to care about a semi famous rapper.

 

Cassidy is still making songs? would have thought he died when Ja Rule stopped making songs..

 

That sucks he just released a new tape too...

 

I am surprised I did not see this on the news today. Given he is not as popular as he used to be though.

 

wow i didn't hear about this...sad

 

If You Wanna Derp In My Hotel
Baby I'll Give You My Herp Key

 

He should stick to battles, tbh. His studio music was meh.

 

Wasn't it found out 50 cent only took 2 bullets, not 9.

Also tupac took 5 bullets and was still alive.

 

thats stupid. why murder when ur making millions, sad and depressing.

 

UPDATE: Contrary to prior reports, Cassidy is not wanted for murder and two attempted murders, but was rather arrested for violating his probation.

“In reference to the recent inquires regarding Barry Reese (aka Cassidy), on Saturday, May 14, 2011, Reese was arrested by Hackensack Police for a probation violation for a previous aggravated assault incident in Philadelphia,” the Philadelphia Police Department’s public affairs office told XXLMag.com. “Reese was placed in probation violation status for non-reporting only. Reese is currently being held in Bergen County Prison awaiting extradition to Philadelphia. Reese is not wanted for any other crime / violation in Philadelphia.”
