Coolio arrested

Rapper Coolio was arrested in Hollywood over an outstanding traffic warrant after being stopped for expired tags, and was released after posting bail.

Rap star Coolio, aka Artis Ivey Jr, was arrested in Hollywood yesterday in relation to an outstanding traffic warrant. According to the LA Times, the hip hopper was pulled over at 1am on the corner of Sunset Boulevard for a routine stop due to "expired tags", which I think means that the car's registration fee hasn't been paid to the Department of Motor Vehicles. Anyway, during the course of this stop, it was discovered that Coolio had an outstanding misdemeanour for driving whilst his licence was suspended, and the rapper was arrested. He was released at 6.40am, after posting $10,000 bail.
