LOS ANGELES -- Wanted on multiple warrants in Virginia for failing to answer charges of shoplifting, notorious Wu-Tang Clan rapper Ol' Dirty Bastard was arrested again Wednesday night, this time for making terrorist threats against security at a West Hollywood club, according to police.
Arrested under his real name, Russell Tyrone Jones, ODB (a.k.a. Big Baby Jesus) spent the night in jail and was released on $50,000 bail at 2:30 p.m. Thursday (Sept. 17) after police said he threatened to kill security at the House of Blues when he was kicked out of the club.
Sitting on a bench in the lobby area of the sheriff's department at about 2:45 p.m., ODB appeared calm but a bit frazzled as he waited with a representative of his management's office for his release paperwork to be completed.
Asked about his arrest, the normally outspoken rapper thought for several seconds and looked over at the representative before calmly replying, "I really don't have a comment right now."
