Warren rapper “Cash Kidd” has posted bond after spending a month in the Macomb County Jail and is scheduled to face trial next month in New Jersey on the allegation he made a threat at a business there.
Cash Kidd, 33, whose real name is Marc Smith, posted $300,000 through a bond company Dec. 30 and appeared that same day in Union County Superior Court in Elizabeth, N.J., on the charge of threatening a crime of violence last Sept. 17 in Union Township, N.J., according to records and the Union County Prosecutor’s Office. He was facing an extradition hearing in Macomb Circuit Court but as part of his bond conditions was to report to the New Jersey court.
Smith is accused of making a threat toward two people and threatening property damage during a verbal dispute in a business in the 600 block of Chestnut Street in Union Township, according to the Union Prosecutor’s Office.
He is scheduled for a Feb. 19 trial Superior Court in New Jersey. The charge is punishable by up to five years in prison.
He turned 33 on Christmas Eve while he was in jail.
Cash Kidd was taken to jail Nov. 30 when he was stopped by Center Line police on a charge of speeding and driving with a suspended license. Officers learned of the New Jersey charge and 2020 charges for reckless driving and driving with a suspended license in Warren.
On Jan. 9, Judge Steve Bieda of 37th District Court dismissed the reckless driving charge and Smith pleaded guilty to letting an unlicensed minor drive and impeding traffic, according to court records. He paid $625 and $115 in fines and costs, respectively, in the two cases.
He faces a Jan. 29 pretrial in 37th District Court in the Center Line case.
