Sources close to the matter say this incident occurred in a Houston nightclub in Texas called The Address. According to sources from eyewitnesses, Lil Reese jumped on his ex-girlfriend after she declined his advances. The rapper is reportedly to have punched the poor girl right in the face and attempted strangulation. The friend to the victim, who also witnessed the attack at the nightclub, informed the security without wasting much time.
The victim later told police how Reese punched her in the right cheek, then tried to strangle her, making her unable to breathe. Convinced that she was about to die, the pleas of the victim were answered by nightclub security personnel who subdued him and provided important information to the police.
Following the incident, police launched a manhunt for Lil Reese after issuing an arrest warrant. The arrest warrant was active for nearly two weeks, during which time police tried to track the rapper. He was arrested in the wee hours of Monday morning at ‘The Pink House‘, another club in the city of Houston. Police personnel present at the venue identified him on the spot and arrested him without hesitation.
Lil Reese has been indicted for aggravated assault of a family or household member, a serious offense for which he was denied bond. The rapper remains in police custody while awaiting prosecution due to the serious nature of the accusations.
To date, the team of Lil Reese has denied the allegations. His attorney claimed the charges are something less than credible, even showing optimism for acquittal in court. The charges against him, however, are sizeable, and now the rapper faces an uphill climb while awaiting further proceedings.
