Lloyd Banks On His Way Home; 5th Man Charged In Incident

After being held up by immigration, Lloyd Banks was released on Wednesday afternoon (January 13) and is on his way back home to New York.



Banks was held by immigration officials after posting $50,000 bail on Tuesday (January 12). His Canadian lawyer Patrick Ducharme said officials initially held him because Banks had violated his visitor's visa, but the issue was cleared up during a hearing.



Banks' bodyguard, Nicklas Sloane, 25, who was also detained by immigration on Tuesday, has not been released, but he has a hearing that will be held at Maplehurst Detention Centre in Milton this morning. Sloane apparently has a criminal record and did not disclose that to border officials prior to entering the country. Hypeman, Tyrell Cooper, 24, and road manager/DJ Shaun Mcgree, 31, were released on $25,000 bail Tuesday.



Banks and his three associates were arrested early Saturday (January 9) for allegedly beating, confining, and robbing Chris Hines, a Canadian promoter in a Kitchener hotel room.



Another man has also been charged in the incident. Rahim Visram, 26, was charged with theft over $5,000 for allegedly stealing the group's performance fee. Visram is due back in court on March 24 to answer to his charges. It is currently unclear as to whether or not this is the same Rahim Visram who was listed on Twitter as working for Ultimate Entertainment, the same company as Chris Hines.
