PAWTUCKET, R.I. -- A Providence man known locally as a rising hip-hop star is accused of choking his girlfriend during a fight at her apartment Tuesday afternoon.
Abraham Orellana, 23, of 90 Homer St., Providence, was arrested by Pawtucket police after his 25-year-old girlfriend accused him of attacking her at her East Avenue apartment, said Maj. Arthur Martins.
The girlfriend had some lacerations, but wasn't taken to a hospital, Martins said.
Orellana's music had been featured in The Providence Journal in early 2011. He performs as AraabMuzik, and has been heard on records by stars such as Fabolous, Jadakiss, and Cam'ron.
Orellana is expected to be arraigned Wednesday at District Court, Providence, on charges of felony domestic assault, failure to relinquish a phone, and domestic disorderly conduct.
