Lil Reese Reportedly Attacked Former Girlfriend at a Club
Lil Reese’s arrest stems from a warrant issued two weeks ago for reportedly punching and strangling a woman while at The Pink House in Houston. On Sept. 17, TMZ reported that the Houston Police Department’s documentation of the incident revealed that Reese physically harmed his ex-girlfriend after she rejected his advances at the strip club. The rapper apparently tried to kiss her.
The woman stated that he allegedly punched her in the right cheek and applied pressure to her neck with both of his arms. She told police that she “was gasping for air” and “fearful for her life.” Once her friend saw what went down, they informed security who intervened.
After witnessing fingernail scratches and redness along the woman’s throat, police officers issued a warrant for Lil Reese’s arrest. According to the rapper’s attorney, Carl Moore, Reese claims to be innocent.
“Mr. Taylor vehemently denies these false accusations,” Carl told TMZ. “We look forward to his day in court.”
Reese and the victim were apparently dating for two months.
