    FLavor Flav Arrested After Traffic Stop

    Flavor Flav was arrested in New York on Thursday after a traffic stop showed he was driving without a license and had a small amount of marijuana in his possession.

    The rapper and reality star had been speeding when he was pulled over in Valley Stream and was found to have 16 suspensions on his license. He was allowed to leave custody to attend a funeral for his mother, who died on New Year’s Eve.

    The arrest was far from the first run-in Flav has had with the law; other than a prior arrest for marijuana, he was taken into custody in 2012 after an altercation with his fiancee’s son turned ugly and the rapper allegedly threatened the teen with a knife.

    Flav was clocked at 79 mph in a 55 zone and is scheduled to appear in court on January 28.

  • Flavor Flav Arrested For Assault With Deadly Weapon

    Former Public Enemy member and reality star Flavor Flav was arrested early this morning on a domestic violence charge after an argument with his fiancee’s teenage son turned ugly.

    Flav–whose real name is William Drayton Jr.–lives in Las Vegas with fiancee Liz and her son Gibran, as well as their son Karma. TMZ is reporting that when things got physical during an argument with Liz, her son stepped in and Flav threatened him with a knife. He was taken into custody and booked on felony assault with a deadly weapon and battery.

    Flav has had some bad press this year, notably after appearing on a celebrity version of the show “Wife Swap”, which saw him taking in Twisted Sister singer Dee Snyder’s wife Suzette for a week and doing his own thing, leaving Suzette to run the household.
