Flavor Flav charged for coke-fuelled drive
By Chris Cooke | Published on Thursday 23 July 2015
Not letting the new Public Enemy album get in the way of his regular schedule of legal wranglings, Flavor Flav has picked up charges for speeding and driving under the influence of cocaine, all stemming from an incident back in May.
According to TMZ, Flav was stopped by police in Las Vegas on 21 May after travelling at 73mph in a 45mph zone. Officers quickly spotted an open beer bottle in the centre console of his vehicle, and then the rapper admitted to smoking marijuana “not too long ago”. A subsequent blood test then showed the cocaine in his system.
The various charges were made by prosecutors last week but came to light yesterday. Flav is yet to comment.
