Busta Rhymes Busted
Rapper & Musician Busta Rhymes has been charged & arrested for traffic violation resulting in a suspended driver’s license.
The star, whose real name is Trevor Smith, was taken into custody at around 5:30 am on Thursday, in lower Manhattan, and he was due in court Thursday night.
The cops busted him driving his SUV around Tribeca without a valid driver’s license and kept him behind bars for nearly 18 hours before arraigning him. The suspended-license charge he was accused of is punishable by up to 15 days in jail upon conviction.
This is the latest legal issue for Rhymes who, not so long ago, was accused of assault in two separate cases which are still ongoing. On Tuesday he appeared in front of a judge whose deal he is now considering, which would allow him to plead guilty to misdemeanor assault and perform community service instead of jail.
