On Thursday, the rapper known as Black Rob was sentenced to seven years in prison after being convicted of grand larceny for robbing a hotel room in 2004.
Rob (born Robert Ross) was first arrested at New York’s On The Ave Hotel in November 2004 after a security camera taped him leaving a female guest’s room with her pocketbook. He was booked for burglary and criminal possession of stolen property, to which he eventually pleaded guilty and was sentenced to two to six years in prison.
However Rob remained free on bail, and did not show up as arranged on January 24th to serve his time, at which time a bench warrant was issued for his arrest. His whereabouts were unknown until members of a federal task force caught him at an undisclosed location last week.
