Chauncey Black

A Grammy-winning R&B singer from the popular '90s group Blackstreet was caught and jailed yesterday after a year-long search.

Chauncey Hannibal, a.k.a. Chauncey Black was captured in Los Angeles and extradited to Virginia Beach where he is currently being held without bond, according to the Associated Press. The singer faces charges of grand larceny, failure to pay child or spousal support and failure to appear in court on a misdemeanor charge.

The misdemeanor charge stems from a skipped court date back in September of '07. During that court date Black was scheduled to be sentenced for contempt of court and violating terms of his probation, according to online records.

He is also being held for grand larceny on a January 2007 warrant, according to police spokeswoman Margie Long.

Chauncey allegedly broke into a house on the Chesapeake Bay and made out with everything, including the kitchen sink. Apparently, after the singer was evicted in July, it is believed that he came back and looted and destroyed the property. The property owner filed a police report.

Virginia Beach City Jail spokeswoman Lisa Godley wouldn't say exactly how Black was caught or offer any other details.

Blackstreet was founded in 1992 by Teddy Riley, the artist who was already famous from his tenure with R&B group Guy. The group, best known for the hit singles "Before I Let You Go" and "No Diggity," reached the height of its success in 1997 earning a Grammy.

Blackstreet split in '99 over legal issues and when it got back together to release Level II in 2003, Chauncey was no longer a member.

The 39-year-old has not yet made a statement.
