The Warlord, deejay Bounty Killer will appear in court on September 12 to answer to charges that he threatened to kill a girlfriend in June of this year.

The deejay's lawyers had attemped to have the case thrown out of court today but were unsuccessful.

It is not the first run-in that Bounty Killer has had with the law in relation to a former girlfriend. Last year, Bounty Killer stood accused of the May 23 assault on his sons mother, 33 year-old Julie Rambally. He answered to allegations that he had attacked Rambally as she walked down the street, punching and kicking her, before dragging her several feet and slamming her head into a wall. She was later treated at a local hospital.

The charges were eventually dropped by the complainant, however, the deejay was forced to enroll in an anger management program, as well as undergo random drug testing.
