Rapper Flo Rida has been arrested a few hours ago after being pulled over by police on suspicion of DUI. He was also driving on a suspended license in his $1.7 million Bugatti, it has emerged.The rapper failed a field sobriety test, and police instantly noticed that he had bloodshot eyes and smelled of alcohol,
Radar Online informs citing the police report made after the incident.
“Rapper Flo Rida was taken into custody in Miami Beach early Thursday in connection with suspicion of DUI,” Radar Online says.
“Flo Rida, whose real name is Tramar Dillard, was pulled over in a $1.7 million Bugatti after police noticed he was swerving. The 6-foot-1, 225 pound rapper drove a full two blocks before fully pulling over, police said,” the publication says.
When he eventually pulled over and got out of his car, it became clear why he’d taken his time with complying with police officers.
“Upon stopping, officers at the scene noticed the rapper had bloodshot eyes, slurred speech and reeked of booze,” Radar says.
“The rapper admitted to officers he’d ‘had a few drinks’ and reassured them he could make it home, but following a field sobriety test, the Low rapper’s blood alcohol level was .185% - more than twice the legal limit,” the publication informs.
As if that wasn’t enough, when cops performed the routine check on the rapper, it emerged that he had his license suspended since May 3 – so he was cited for that too.
Flo Rida was taken to police headquarters, was booked and bailed.
TMZ says he tried to make his exit from the station undercover, avoiding the press outside by throwing a t-shirt over his head.
The same e-zine has pictures of the rapper before the arrest: he partied at Dream nightclub in Miami until early in the morning, drinking alcohol.
After the party, he got behind the wheel of his Bugatti, which, says TMZ, was not impounded because his friends came and picked it up.
