It was reported by us and other news sources last week that Tony Yayo of the G-Unit was locked for violating his probation by travelling to Las Vegas with the group. Now we have an update thanks to MTV.com.

According to a spokesperson for the New York State Division of Parole, Yayo, whose real name is Marvin Bernard, met with his parole officer the day after his release and was asked to provide all his current identification documents as part of a standard, post-release review. Among those included was a fake passport – a violation of federal law.

Yayo is now being held in federal custody at a prison in New York City for possession of a forged instrument. He had a preliminary hearing last week that set another hearing date for February 24. Because he is accused of violating federal law, his case is being handled by both state and federal authorities.
