Hackensack, NJ – Philadelphia emcee, Cassidy, has had his fair share of run-ins with the law, as many other rappers do. However, Cassidy, whose real name is Barry Reese, has charges that are more severe than others. Sometime during the weekend, Cassidy was apprehended by Hackensack authorities on a warrant for violating his probation, but apparently he has become a suspect in a murder and two attempted murders that occurred in his hometown of Philly.
According to sources, Philadelphia Police contacted the Hackensack Police Department to inform them that Cassidy, who is a resident of Jersey City, had a warrant out for his arrest. They notified the local authorities that Cassidy should be considered ‘armed and dangerous,’ under a ‘high risk warrant.’
During a surveillance in front of Cassidy’s house, police were dispatched immediately when the rapper was seen vacating his residence around 1:30pm to stop at a nearby local convenience store. After confirming his identity during a routine felony motor vehicle stop, they arrested the rapper and brought him into custody. Hackensack police Lt. Timothy Lloyd commended the officers for doing ‘an outstanding job’ in the safe and secure apprehension. He also stated that the rapper was ‘very surprised’ upon arrest.
