April 05, 2006 - On March 30, Black Rob, born Robert Ross, was sentenced to seven years in prison after being convicted of grand larceny for robbing a hotel room in 2004. He was charged with stealing over $6,000 in jewelry and $300 cash from the woman's room.

He was free on bail, but a fugitive warrant was issued for his arrest when he failed to show up to serve his time as arranged.

A fugitive warrant was issued and the rapper was arrested in February 2006 in New Jersey.

Prosecutors gave Black Rob the maximum sentence because he failed to turn himself in.
