Busta Rhymes has been arrested again in New York, this time on suspicion of drunk driving. The rap star, real name Trevor Smith, was stopped by local police early on Thursday morning because his car windows were too tinted, but officers subsequently smelled alcohol on his breath and took him into custody. Rhymes was held until a planned appearance in court yesterday to answer the charges. Ahead of the hearing, his lawyer, Scott Leemon, refused to comment on the incident.
Rhymes is, as previously reported, facing two separate assault charges, and is due in court again next week in relation to those. He was, of course, initially offered a deal sparing him a prison sentence over the charges, but that offer was withdrawn after he was arrested back in February after being caught driving on a suspended licence.
