HERCULES — An East Bay rapper known as Keak Da Sneak was in Martinez county jail Monday after his arrest this weekend, police said Monday.
At 1:23 a.m. Saturday, an officer tried to stop a black 1988 Ford Mustang near San Pablo Avenue and Victoria Crescent West, police said.
When the Mustang failed to pull over, police chased it for a quarter-mile before the driver lost control on Paradise Drive. The driver tried to run away, but an officer caught up to him and arrested him as he tried to enter his apartment.
Charles Kente Williams, 38, was arrested on suspicion of driving on a suspended license and evading a peace officer, as well as an outstanding warrant for a probation violation.
Williams, also known as rapper Keak Da Sneak, is known for several popular chart hits, including “Yadadamean,” “Super Hyphy,” “That Go” and “T-Shirt, Blue Jeans, Nikes,” as well as his feature on E-40’s hit 2006 song “Tell Me When To Go.”
Williams was taken to Martinez county jail, where he was in custody Monday afternoon on $10,000 bail.
