Lloyd Banks Arrested On Assault & Robbery Charges


G-Unit's Lloyd Banks was arrested over the weekend in Ontario, Canada on assault, robbery, and forced confinement charges. Banks along with three other men are accused of assaulting local promoter Chris Hines of Chris Hines/Ultimate Entertainment.

According to reports, Banks, whose real name is Christopher Lloyd, was scheduled to perform a few of his songs at Club NV in Ontario at 9pm Friday night (January 8), but showed up well after midnight and performed only one song. Banks then got into a dispute with Hines at a local hotel over the performance and appearance fees after the promoter refused to pay, claiming the rapper did not fulfill the terms of the agreement.

From there Hines alleges that Banks along with Nicolas Sloane, Shawn McGee, and Tyrell Cooper held him in his hotel room against his will, and proceeded to assault and rob him. He suffered bruises and possible head trauma from the incident and was rushed to the hospital.

Banks, Sloane, McGee and Copper made a video court appearance on Sunday afternoon (January 10), and are due to appear in court again in the early part of this week. As of Sunday the four were still in police custody.
