A police report added that the major label MC had over $2,000 cash on his person. The report quoted Reese’s explanation of the cash as “It’s mine, I got a little Fire. So what?” He was said to add: “There’s serious crime out there. This ain’t a big deal. I’m gangsta.”
In April of this year, Reese was cuffed by police when he was found sleeping in his car. At the time, there was an outstanding warrant for the rapper’s arrest. Earlier that month, Reese was stopped and taken in for driving without a driver’s license or car insurance. He was initially charged with grand theft auto due to his failure to provide information on the car. He was ordered to be held in lieu of $10,000 bail.
