Rapper Beanie Sigel is headed for jail -- again -- say Philly cops. The much-arrested rapper is in trouble -- this time for theft and unauthorized use of an automobile. Authorities say Sigel held on to a rental car for three months!
According to local police, Sigel rented a Nissan Altima from Payless Car Rental in Southwest Philadelphia in late July -- even though he had a suspended driver's license -- and failed to return the car.
Payless continued to charge his credit card and finally reported the car stolen on September 6. On October 5, the car was returned to Payless -- just as detectives headed to Sigel's Philly home to arrest him.
There is currently a warrant out for Sigel's arrest for failure to return the car, and said Fortunato Perri, Sigel's lawyer, Sigel will surrender to the police on Monday.
This isn't Sigel's first run-in with the law. In 2005 Sigel was jailed for failing to pay $29,000 in court-ordered child support, and in 2004 he was sentenced to a year in prison for being found in possession of 20 Percocets and 20 Xanax pills. During the same incident, Sigel was seen tossing a handgun out of his car.

Another rapper underarrest, no way. I guess this noise that they make so-called music is really helping out today's youths. You can tell look at the inner-cities!!
Nissan Altima? He probably could of bought one for cheaper than what he rented it for.
What is going on? Where is the civil in civilization?
This is a domesticated country people
OMG guess that puts a kabosh on another State Property movie huh? Ahh well it was played out at this point anyways. Guess he's in a contest with Snoop to see who can get in more trouble.
6. Hey man - Beanie boy - he loves his Altima - charges also for being fat, lazy & ugly!
Typical racism of '6' - learn a bit of English & come the table with the adults!
So this guy held on to a rental car- BIG DEAL!!! and that Ryder actress is a shop lifting white girl once! AGAIN big deal and who cares!
Rap boys are what they are - and not above the law & reportage like some "fans" may hope.
Living off poor blacks & their dreams of perverting their way to riches & fame. Peace & love!
WOW NOT ANOTHER RAPPER IN TROUBLE WITH THE LAW!! SEEMS TO BE A HOT TREND! IF THEY HAD TO PULL TIME AND BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THERE ACTIONS MAYBE THEY WOULD STOP BREAKING THE LAW!! ONE CAN ONLY DREAM RIGHT!!
Hey, guess what, most rappers ARE criminals! At least their actions show as much. I've yet to hear very many of them say anything intelligent
let alone speak normal English. Stop playing the race card, it doesn't
have anything to do with these low life clowns and their bad behavior.
I don't care what color a person's skin is, actions speak louder than
words. These idiots don't know how to behave in normal society so
I guess they'll keep getting locked up which is what they deserve.
Break the law, pay the price!
If they kept charging his card and the charges just kept going through then how could the car be stolen? They knew where it was, they got value in exchange.....this seems like it could be fought easily in court
