Busta Rhymes arrested
May 4, 2007, 11:00 GMT
US rapper Busta Rhymes was arrested on suspicion of drink driving in New York in the early hours of Thursday morning (03.05.07).
The star was stopped by officers at around 12:40am because his SUV had overly tinted windows, but suspected he had been drinking after smelling alcohol on Busta's breath, police reports have confirmed.
A police officer told reporters: "There was a strong odour of alcohol on his breath."
Busta, 34, was taken into custody on a charge of driving while impaired.
His lawyer Scott Leemon declined to comment, stating he would address the matter officially in court.
An arraignment was expected to take place yesterday afternoon.
The incident marks Busta's latest in a series of run-ins with the law over the past year.
The star is set to appear in court next week on two assault charges dating from February.
A representative for Busta has not yet commented.

One more trouble Busta can add to his Rhyme-s-ing Record which keeps blowing up, is his exploding weight! Holy Hell he's tipping the Obesity scale. Busta is busting up BIGTIME. He must be tipping the scales at 300 by NOW. I saw him at the Tribeca festival hanging out with Bruce Willis for the premiere of 'The Hip Hop Project'. Standing side by side - Busta looked twice as big as Bruce. Damn!!

Uh, Busta got busted! The brother should know better than to 1) drink and drive and 2) drive around in NYC with seriously tinted windows. How dopey is that!?
