Beanie Sigel's attorney has said his client will give himself up to police next week to face charges in a dispute over a rental car which the rapper rented in July but only returned last week, when it was due back with the rental firm on 13 Aug.
Although the rental outfit in southwest Philadelphia continued to charge Sigel's credit card for the unauthorized rental, eventually they assumed the car was never going to be returned and reported it stolen. Police went to Sigel's home in Lansdale, Pennsylvania last Friday, but an associate of the rapper returned the car at about the same time. Police didn't find Sigel so a warrant is still out for his arrest, even though the car has been returned.
Commenting on the whole thing, Sigel's lawyer told reporters: "We've learned that a warrant was issued for his arrest for failure to return a vehicle. Apparently there was some misunderstanding over when it was to be returned or whether or not payment was continuing to be made. The car has been returned. And whatever money is owed to the company has been paid or will be paid shortly"
The attorney said Sigel should be able to fit the arrest into his schedule next Monday, which is good of him.
