Warrant issued for rapper Tim Dog
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) – Mississippi authorities have issued an arrest warrant for rapper Tim Dog, apparently doubting reports in February that the singer had died.
On Tuesday, authorities in Desoto County, near Memphis, Tenn., issued a warrant for his arrest alleging he hasn’t paid restitution from a 2011 grand larceny conviction.
Tim Dog, 46, whose real name is Timothy Blair, is best known for a 1990s song “F— Compton.”
He was sentenced in August 2011 to 14 days in jail and five years on probation for allegedly swindling $32,000 from a woman who met him on an online dating site. He was ordered to pay about $19,000 in restitution.
The warrant says he hasn’t paid.
