Fat Trel has been arrested again, less than two months after getting released from prison in October.
According to an arrest docket obtained by XXL on Thursday (Dec. 9), Fat Trel, born Martrel Reeves, was arrested and booked at the Arlington County Sheriff’s Office in Arlington, Va. on Wednesday (Dec. 8) on four counts of a Revocation of Suspended Sentence and Probation in connection to a 2018 arrest. Trel is currently in custody awaiting bond and has a court date scheduled for Jan. 14, 2022.
The details of the 2018 arrest he was picked up for are unclear.
Fat Trel was released from prison in October. The “Large Amount” rapper was initially arrested on July 8, 2018, in Upper Marlboro, Md. on a charge of a Gun Offender Fail to Register, but also has an arrest from Aug. 30, 2018, in Arlington, Va. It’s uncertain if the cases are related.
Reports from July of 2018 include that police pulled over Trel in a vehicle for a traffic violation and found that he didn’t have any identification on him or a driver’s license because it was previously suspended. Police also discovered a .40-caliber gun loaded with 10 rounds of ammunition. The pistol was later identified as a “ghost gun,” which are assembled from kits and function like a real firearm. These reports, however, have not been confirmed.
The weapon, according to The New York Times, is extremely dangerous and usually doesn’t have a serial number, which makes them hard to trace.
In March of 2016, Fat Trel was arrested for Possession of Counterfeit Money after being accused of attempting to use fake bills at a Maryland casino. He maintained his innocence. The following month, he was taken into custody in Arlington, Va. for DWI, narcotics distribution, speeding and driving with a revoked license.
In a lengthy post, the former Maybach Music Group rapper revealed a judge sentenced him to another year and a half in prison.
“After my 3 year long incarceration by the federal government for gun possession, I was aware I had to face the Virginia court system regarding my probation,” Trel explained. “After a month in Arlington County Jail, this morning was my sentencing date. The District Attorney supported my request to be released for time served. However, Judge DiMatteo chose to sentence me to a year and a half of backup time.”
Trel continued, “The justice system needs major reformation. Three years in federal prison was more than enough time for me to confirm my mindset and the way I move. I’m being punished a second time around without regard for the years I’ve already served.”
The news arrives three months after the 31-year-old D.C. rapper returned home after serving three years for possession of a firearm in 2018. Trel was subsequently arrested in December and hit with four counts of a Revocation of Suspended Sentence and Probation in connection to another 2018 arrest.
