Detroit rapper Obie Trice was arrested and jailed last week after an arraignment in
District Court in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan on a charge of using a telephone to
harass or threaten someone.
Trice was taken into custody at his residence in Detroit on Thursday (June 16) and
transported to the police dept. headquarters on a misdemeanor charge of harassing
communications.
West Bloomfield Police Dept. deputy chief Curt Lawson said that Trice was
transferred to Oakland County jail after the arraignment
and his understanding is that the formerly Eminem-affiliated rapper had posted the
$10,000 bond in the case and was currently out of custody. “He was allegedly texting,
calling and showing up at his ex-girlfriend’s residence and [the residences] some
family members and making some threats,” Lawson said; those threats were the
impetus for the warrant on harassing communications.

However, Lawson also noted that there is another ongoing investigation of Trice on a
different charge — which was the cause of a recent search warrant executed on Trice’s
home — the details of which he could not disclose at press time; Lawson said
additional information on that warrant and investigation should be available in the
next few weeks.
According to The Detroit News the misdemeanor communications harassment case
carries a possible six months in jail and/or a $1,000 fine. The paper also reported that
in 2020 Trice (born Obie Trice III), 44, was booked for aggressive felony assault
against a family member and was held in contempt of court for violating a personal
protection order; that case is reportedly still pending and was reassigned to another
judge last month.
