Why was Lil Reese arrested? Charges explored as rapper reportedly faces 5-10 years in prison
Lil Reese was arrested on September 30, 2024, after he reportedly punched and choked his ex-girlfriend at The Pinkhouse nightclub in Houston, Texas. As per the latest update on the case, the rapper has been reportedly sentenced to 5-10 years. However, an official confirmation of this is currently awaited.
A photo featuring the list of the charges imposed on Reese, which the Harris County Sheriff's Office shared, has been making rounds on the internet.
DJ Akademiks' official social media page also shared the same alongside a photo of Reese. Lil Reese was being searched by the police department before his arrest last month.
Reese had another encounter with the cops in July this year when he was arrested on suspicion of r*pe, as per Vibe magazine. The accusations emerged after he allegedly took a woman to a hotel room, forcibly trying to get intimate with her despite her refusal.

Also known as Tavares Lamont Taylor, he was taken into custody by the police officers after they saw him at a nightclub called The Address. As mentioned, the reports on his 5-10-year prison sentence have already grabbed much attention.
An Instagram post shared by DJ Akademiks shows that Lil Reese appeared at the court on October 16, 2024, following which he was taken back to prison. The social media post additionally featured the charges imposed on Lil Reese, which include aggravated assault of a family or household member.
Although his sentencing is yet to be confirmed by the authorities, Akademiks' post included an Instagram Story by Reese, which reads:
"Damn im finna miss my daughters."
A report from the Houston Police Department stated that Lil Reese and the woman were inside the nightclub when the former forcefully tried to kiss her. However, Reese became frustrated at one point and reportedly punched her in the right cheek and str*ngled her, making it difficult for her to breathe.
The woman suffered severe injuries to her face and neck, and she was also accompanied by a friend, who immediately informed the nightclub security about the incident. When the cops arrived, they issued a warrant for Reese after witnessing the fingernail scratches and redness around the victim's neck.
Another case of Lil Reese was dismissed earlier this year
The 31-year-old's arrest on suspicion of r*pe in July 2024 was first revealed by Boosie Badazz through a short clip posted on social media. He was eventually released and shared a statement through his Instagram page, denying the accusations.
The now-deleted post read:
"On my sister Ree Ree the whole story cap and made up fuc I look like this ain't that. I know better and the same way y'all posting that shi make sure y'all post the case get thrown out on my court date they do anything for clout and tryna come up try again."
The L.A. District Attorney's Office eventually dismissed the case ten days later due to insufficient evidence, as per Hot 97. He even expressed his happiness through two statements shared on X (formerly Twitter).
The Chicago, Illinois native has multiple mixtapes in his credits, including Supa Savage, Demon Time, and Better Days.
