Mos Def wanted by police

Rapper Mos Def is wanted by the Las Vegas police department.

The force issued a warrant for his arrest on Tuesday (November 4) after an alleged incident between him and a photographer in August.

It is alleged that Mos Def, real name Dante Terrell, ripped a camera from around the neck of photographer Volker Corell, resulting in a charge of robbery and destruction of property, reports BBC News.

Police say they expect the rapper and actor to turn himself in.

Correll claims he was cut on his left hand during the alleged scuffle and court reports show that repairs to his camera cost $178 (£112).
