Earlier this morning police pulled over one Trevor Smith (aka Busta Rhymes) on 51st Street and 11th Avenue for driving while impaired. We stopped carving notches on his rap sheet a few misdemeanors ago, but you can check out this backlog of posts for a guide to his run-ins with the law.
How did this one go down? Officers noticed his 2006 GMC Yukon Denali driving down the street with "excessively tinted windows," and when they approached the car they found Rhymes with a "strong odor of alcohol on his breath." He then dropped his wallet when trying to get his paperwork to the police. The field sobriety test showed Rhymes with a .147, above the .08 legal limit in New York.
Word is he's still in central booking awaiting an appearance in front of a judge later in the day. He'll be back in the court room on Tuesday as he stands trial on two assault charges from last year.





No snitching Busta! Even on other hip-hop artists who are currently driving intoxicated at this very moment.
Busta can not be stopped. His farts have more street cred then you or I can comprehend.
Its Don Imus' fault.
I like how Busta makes himself such an attractive target to police - drinkin'n'drivin' AND driving with excessively tinted windows.
This is all because he won't testify about the Israel Ramirez shooting (remember his bodyguard, the story on 60minutes.) The cops won't stop harrassing him until he opens up. Of course, cops ain't dumb, so they'll continue to fuck up his life in perfectly legal and ethical ways. In the end, if you ask me, the chickenshit deserves it. Justice is a two-way street Busta.
his windows are tinted so he can go buckwild on the "downlow" with his boys. Dont snitch!
Amen Gabe. The cops are def trying to make an example out of Busta, and he def deserves it. Too bad nothing will really ever come of it. I appreciate the effort all the same.
OK, I see the point made here with regards to "Drinking & Driving" Jen,"Ms. Editor lady" . My issue pertains to "YOU" making a side issue of his "Excessively Tinted" windows ! What does that have to do with the story Jen ? So what he has "Excessively Tinted" windows in his "Excessively Expensive" Ride ! (Did you catch the last sentence Jen ?) See you are "Hating" because of what Busta did in the past, It has nothing to do with his "Excessively Tinted" windows in his "Excessively Expensive" Ride ! Deviating from the story is not a "Good Look" for the Editor of "Fifth teen News/Blog sites" ! ; ')
