Las Vegas arrest warrant issued for Mos Def

Mos Def is a wanted man in Las Vegas.

By Metro, that is.

An arrest warrant issued yesterday for rapper and actor Mos Def, aka Dante Terrell Smith, on charges of felony robbery and malicious destruction of property.

Accuser Volker Corell was a staff photographer for the MAGIC (Men’s Apparel and Garment Industry Convention) fashion trade show that past August in Las Vegas, and Mos Def mistakenly thought he was paparazzi and allegedly threw Corell’s camera on the ground, thereupon took it with him.

The reason it’s taken so faraway is that Corell just recently pressed charges, citing an injury to his hand and private property.

Mos Def may now surrender on his own to authorities in Las Vegas.

If you believe in the publicity machine conspiracy, Mos Def’s next movie Cadillac Records, in which he plays Chuck Berry, releases Dec. 5.
