The Dreams star - real name Jayceon Taylor - has also been charged with exhibiting a firearm during the presence of an officer.

He was arrested last month (May07) in relation to the February (07) incident and was later released on $50,000 (GBP25,000) bail.

The hip-hop star is due in a Los Angeles court for an arraignment hearing tomorrow (05Jun07). If convicted he faces more than five years in prison, reports website TMZ.com.

It's not the first time the rapper has been in trouble with the police - he was arrested in New York City in November (06) over allegations he pretended to be an undercover police officer to persuade a cab driver to run red lights.
