The 53-year-old legendary hypeman and reality show star, Flavor Flav, was arrested today for assault with a deadly weapon in Las Vegas.
According to TMZ; Flavor Flav, real name William Drayton Jr., allegedly got into a heated verbal argument with a teenager in his house as well as his fiancee. His fiancee then called 911 and as of press time, it was unclear if the teenager involved in the altercation was indeed Flav's son.
Flav was arrested around 3am this morning and booked on felony assault with a deadly weapon and battery. Allegedly, the Public Enemy hypeman threatened one person with a knife during the argument, and beat up the other it's unclear which person he threatened, and which he physically attacked.
He's currently being held on $23,000 bail.
***UPDATE***
Details of Flavor Flav's arrest are beginning to surface. Hip Hop Wired reports:
The 53-year-old New York native was double-fisted with a couple of knives when he ran after his fiancée's son, reports TMZ.
Flav, real name William Drayton Jr., allegedly threw his lady love, 39-year-old Elizabeth Trujillo, to the ground and ripped out her earrings (ouch!), before setting his eyes on her son. According to the police report, the teen son jumped in to save his mother before being met with knives of fury. The elderly Public Enemy hypeman also kicked down a locked door to get to the son, before showering him with threats against his life.
The whole argument started over accusations that Flav— who is obviously irresistible to the ladies— was being unfaithful. Things got heated, the fiancée ended up on the ground, her son ended up being chased, and Flav ended up in the back of a squad car on his way to jail where he was booked on misdemeanor battery and felony assault charges.
He has since posted $23,000 bail and has been released, and is scheduled to appear in court next week.
