Highland Park police in Illinois have issued an arrest warrant for the rapper after he failed to present himself at a pretrial hearing for a DUI charge from March.

Less than two weeks after his 19th birthday, an arrest warrant was issued for Chief Keef in Highland Park, Illinois on Friday (August 22). The $50,000 warrant was issued following the rapper’s failure to appear at a pretrial hearing in a DUI case stemming from an arrest in March.

In March, Chief Keef was pulled over for expired tags on the 2010 Jeep Cherokee he was driving and then subsequently arrested after he failed a field sobriety test. Prior to the sobriety test, Keef apparently admitted to smoking marijuana. After the arrest, the rapper was released on $300 bail less than two weeks after leaving a rehabilitation center in Orange County, California
