GRETNA, La. (AP) — Rapper Corey "C-Murder" Miller has been booked back into jail in Louisiana after police said he broke the house-arrest rules imposed on him as he awaits trial.

Miller faces a second trial April 20 on a charge of second-degree murder in the death of a 16-year-old during a 2002 brawl at a New Orleans-area nightclub. As a condition of his $500,000 bond, the 37-year-old rapper has been restricted to his grandmother's home in Kenner.

Deputy Chief Chuck Whitmer of the Gretna Police Department says an electronic monitor early Monday indicated Miller was out of range, a violation of house arrest rules, for about 10 minutes. He was booked Monday into the Jefferson Parish jail.

Miller's attorney Ron Rakosky says his client was home sleeping.
