Flavor Flav’s time was up, when the rapper/reality star was arrested and jailed in Las Vegas on Friday. Flav was pulled over by police for a simple moving violation, but things turned much more serious when cops discovered that the Public Enemy member had four outstanding warrants for his arrest!
LVPD spokesman Bill Cassell told Eonline.com that Flav (real name William Jonathan Drayton Jr.) was wanted for driving without proof of insurance, a parking violation and two cases of driving without a license. The VH1 star was taken into custody and booked into a nearby jail before he was eventually released several hours later.
The always-colorful Flav took to his Twitter account to recount the days’ events.
“Hey y’all this is FLAVOR FLAV, I was on my home from Benihana’s I got pulled over by a curious Rookie Ass Cop,” Flav tweeted. “He found out I had a traffic warrant wanted to make a name for himself took me in and now I’m home laying my bed what’s the big deal?!”
The trip to the slammer did seem to have a happy ending, though, as Flav revealed that he had taken care of all his legal matters.
“At least, I cleared up my sh*t,” he wrote. “Some people are still on the run!”
