Million dollar warrant out for Eek-A-Mouse....

Barbara White of Eek-A-Mouse Entertainment Group is now fuming, as she says a US$1 million warrant has been issued for the artiste because he did not appear in court earlier this week.

Eek-a-Mouse, real name Ripton Joseph Hylton, was scheduled to appear in court on Monday to answer to charges against him from 2008. In that year, he was arrested for the first degree kidnapping of a female, second degree rape and possession of cocaine and marijuana by Kill Devil Hill police department in North Carolina.

However, when his case was called up on Monday, he was a no-show. But White said this was beyond his control.

"They put out a US$1 million arrest warrant. He could not get into the US because they denied his visa application and the airways were closed because of the volcanic ash. There is no way he could have travelled to the United States," she told THE STAR, noting that the artiste has been on tour in Europe doing shows in places like Sweden, Italy and Germany.

"He is stuck in Amsterdam. He wasn't able to get into the United States so our attorney asked for a motion to continue and they refused."

White further explained that Eek-A-Mouse applied for a US visa in March and found out that the visa was denied in April.

"They informed him that he would not be getting a visa to the US. He applied for a waiver and that was denied. We don't know why the US denied his visa 'cause he has travelled back and forth for more than 20 years," she told THE STAR.

Eek-A-Mouse became popular in the 1970s. He is known for songs like Do You Remember, Virgin Girl and Wa-Do-Dem.

I will not go into details as that is his business but will tell all this! - look at the behaviors of all of those losing visa into america. Sickness. Bob told the people from long time... Rastaman Live UP! now unnu fi live up now and go thru. You can not expect any nation - especially America!!! bumba red... to give any black man a bligh when you carry on with foolishness and illegal behavior. Young americans are already giving enough trouble these days so they do not need more bad ass jamaicans coming into their country causing problems... and especially ones who entertain and have some control over masses of people. THey are going to be cut off!!! Careful my people... know unnu movements and let Jah live thru all a unnu.

They should throw his ass under the jail.Us past history have nothing to do with he facts. He had drugs,he raped(whether its true or not) and he kidnapped this chick. I sure hope it's not a white girl. One does not f*** around with southern gals like that.sounds like the chick changed her mind, still have ya ass here for court. Right or wrong
