Ice T Cleared Of Charges Related To Traffic Dust-Up

Spartacus and Coco via Spartacus's Twitter

Last month, after dropping off his bulldog Spartacus at the vet, Ice T was pulled over near the Lincoln Tunnel and was eventually arrested for driving with a suspended license. Ice T called the cop who took him to the station a "punk bitch" and insisted that the DMV made a mistake and guess what—the DMV did make a clerical error! The rapper-actor was cleared of all charges and declared, "That's what I'm talking about!"

Ice T and his bodacious wife Coco were both at the courthouse. Ice T told reporters, "Like I said from the gate, I never broke the law. I never had knowledge of any suspension. That's why I got so angry when they put me in handcuffs." Police sources say that Ice T's Cadillac SUV's side mirror brushed against a patrol car.

When one of his Twitter followers asked, "So this means the cop was only goin by the info DMV entered into the system?" Ice responded, "True.. But he didn't HAVE to take me to jail." Guess it's time for the lawsuit against the DMV!

Of course, he's clean! Would you do anything to impede your getting home if you knew you had that waiting?

"...the DMV did made a clerical error!"

Only Gothamist would make a typo while writing about a typo.

This looks diseased.

Nonsense. Pammie doesn't have the curves Coco has.

He only likes Pam because her dumbass is a staunch supporter of PETA, even though she has no problem putting large amounts of meat in her mouth.

So he curses a cop and makes inflammatory statements, even skirting racist remarks and accusations... and, in the end... he gets his way.

Classic.

Got away with what?

You didn't bother to list a single crime. What you listed was not illegal.

I agree. He's the reason I don't watch SVU.

El Izzy

I cringe anytime he opens his mouth on Law & Order. How did he get hired? Did he have to pimp out Coco to the casting director?

the back... from THE BACK pleeeeze

Gothamist should post more pictures of Coco, even on blog posts that have nothing to do with the case. Some bikini pics of Coco inserted into WTC Mosque stories should help smooth tensions & help promote civil dialog.

Here's a great picture of coco:

I agree. What is Coco's opinion of the Ground Zero mosque*? There could be a dozen Gothamist posts on that alone.

*If and when the Ground Zero mosque opens, I hope the Islamic-friendly gay bar next door blasts Bodycount's 'There Goes the Neighborhood' from its booming stereo system.
