Mount Clemens, MI - Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido announced that Casada Sorrell, also known as rapper Sada Baby, waived his Preliminary Exam and was bound over to the Macomb County Circuit Court on a possession of controlled substance charge.
In January 2025, Sterling Heights Police conducted a traffic stop of 33-year-old Sorrell. As Sorrell was taken into custody on an outstanding warrant, officers allegedly saw a bag of pills in Sorrell’s driver side door pocket. It is alleged the pills were Acetaminophen and Oxycodone Hydrochloride, a Schedule 2 controlled substance for which Sorrell did not have a valid prescription.
On Thursday, December 11, 2025, a Probable Cause Conference was held before Judge Eric D. Shepherd in the 41A District Court in Sterling Heights, MI. At that hearing, Sorrell waived his right to a Preliminary Exam and was bound over to the Macomb County Circuit Court. A date for arraignment is not set.
Sorrell is charged with Controlled Substances – Possession Less than 25 grams, a 4-year felony. He also has a Habitual Offender – Third Offense Notice which is an aggravating sentencing factor.
“Illicit narcotics pose a serious threat to the safety and well-being of our community. When an individual chooses to possess these substances, they endanger lives and contribute to the cycle of addiction that affects families across our county. In Macomb County, this conduct will not be tolerated. Our office will continue to pursue these cases aggressively and hold offenders fully accountable under the law," stated Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido.
The Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office represents the People. We are committed to achieving justice and following the laws of the State of Michigan. All that are accused of a crime are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
