Chicago-area rapper Bump J has been arrested in Southern Illinois on bank robbery charges.
The man, whose real name is Terrance Boykin, was arrested in Carbondale after a traffic stop this week.
Boykin is accused of robbing an Oak Park bank with another man last January, with the FBI saying they made off with $100,000.
Authorities around the nation were searching for Boykin after he was indicted by a grand jury in September.
If convicted, he faces a maximum prison sentence of 20 years.
Kanye West produced Bump J's "Move Around," which has been featured in a McDonald's commercial and in the "Madden NFL 06" video.
