Philadelphia-based rapper Cassidy was arrested this weekend in New Jersey on a probation violation, but is also a suspect in a murder & two attempted murder cases. Philadelphia police told their Hackensack, New Jersey police counterparts “to consider this person armed and dangerous,” and this was a “high-risk warrant.”

Cassidy, born Barry Adrian Reese, was taken into custody without incident on Saturday in Hackensack on a warrant issued for Philadelphia police, says NorthJersey.com.

The warrant was for violating probation, Hackensack police said.

In 2006, Cassidy was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in a West Oak Lane shooting case, and he was sentenced to 11 and a half to 23 months in jail.

It was unclear why police felt Cassidy violated his probation.
