PHILADELPHIA (AP) â€” Rapper ODB has been arrested on warrants issued after he fled a court-ordered drug rehabilitation center and missed a court hearing.

ODB, whose real name is Russell Tyrone Jones, was taken into custody Monday night at a fast-food restaurant in Philadelphia.

Jones, a member of Wu Tang Clan, fled from the Pasadena, Calif., drug treatment center, then failed to appear for an Oct. 17 hearing, police said. He was sentenced last November to the treatment program as part of a plea bargain on a charge of making a terroristic threat. He was also placed on three years of probation.

Jones pleaded no contest to being a convicted felon in possession of body armor in February 1999 and to making threats at a West Hollywood nightclub in September 1998.
