Chicago rapper Lil Reese, born Tavares Taylor, is in police custody following his arrest nearly two weeks after a warrant was issued for his alleged involvement in an incident involving his former girlfriend. He was taken into custody early Monday morning on charges of aggravated assault against a family or household member and has been denied bond.
Eyewitnesses reported to TMZ that Lil Reese was arrested at The Address nightclub in Houston, Texas, on Sunday evening. Law enforcement was already present at the venue when they learned of his attendance and proceeded to apprehend him. Photos from the scene show the rapper being led to a police car with his hands cuffed behind his back.
The arrest stems from an alleged incident that occurred at The Pink House nightclub in Houston, where Lil Reese is accused of attacking his ex-girlfriend after she rejected his advances. According to a police report, the woman claimed that Reese punched her in the cheek and attempted to strangle her, leaving her "gasping for air" and fearing for her life. A friend who witnessed the altercation reportedly called security for help.
Lil Reese's attorney, Carl Moore, stated to TMZ, "Mr. Taylor vehemently denies these false accusations. We look forward to his day in court."
The rapper, known for his contributions to Chicago's drill music scene, is now awaiting further legal proceedings as the situation unfolds.
