Rapper and actor Eric Barrier, better known as Eric B., was released on bail on Tuesday after spending more than two weeks in a New Jersey jail after surrendering voluntarily in connection with a warrant issued 17 years ago.
According to court records, Eric B. was jailed on October 28 related to an incident that took place in September 2001.
NJ.com reports that Barrier pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and resisting arrest/eluding on January 28, 2002 but later failed to appear for sentencing.
Barrier’s attorney said he was told back then by his former attorney there was no need for him to appear in court.
Barrier, best known as one half of the hip-hop duo Eric B. & Rakim, was released on bail Tuesday. He is due back in court on November 22.
