An Evansville rapper has a warrant out after he reportedly kidnapped another rapper's girlfriend last week over an allegedly stolen computer.

Keith "Keef" Lamar Carter, 38, was charged with kidnapping with a deadly weapon, intimidation with a deadly weapon and criminal recklessness, all felony charges, on Thursday, according to the Vanderburgh County Prosecutor's Office.

Carter allegedly grabbed the woman off the street Wednesday and put her in a black SUV, where he threatened to kill her, according to court documents.

Carter called the woman's boyfriend, also a rapper, and told him that he was going to "shoot (the woman's) brains out if they didn't return the computer," according to the probable cause affidavit.

The woman told police that Carter had a small, black, semi-automatic handgun, and while he didn't point it at her, she thought she was going to be shot, the affidavit states. The woman tried to climb out of the vehicle, but Carter allegedly grabbed her leg to stop her. The vehicle, which was going about 40 mph, according to the woman, dragged her before Carter let go.

She was admitted to the hospital with cuts on her face and a chipped front tooth.

The allegedly stolen computer had been taken from a home recording studio on Covert Avenue.

The woman's boyfriend said there have been disputes over recording times in the past, according to the affidavit.

Carter accepted a guilty plea in February for battery with a deadly weapon. His sentencing date was scheduled for Tuesday.
