While one Three 6 Mafia member, Juicy J, is flying high on his new single, the other, DJ Paul. recently had a brush with the law. Hip Hop Wired reports:
DJ Paul, one-half of Three 6 Mafia, was arrested in New York City Sunday (Oct. 16), for illegally carrying a taser.
The Memphis native was busted for weapons possession after authorities questioned him about carrying an open beer out of an eatery--which is prohibited in the state. Sources close to the rapper told Allhiphop.com that Paul stopped at a deli on 37th and 9th Avenue in Manhattan to purchase the alcohol, which he had in a sleeve, before police began to follow him.
Upon further inquiry, Paul admitted to having a taser on his person. The weapon was confiscated, and mistakenly discharged by an officer. The 35-year-old was taken into custody both for carrying the device and walking on the street with an open container, which are misdemeanor charges.
After his arrest, police allegedly posed for pictures with him, and sang the chorus to his 2005 single "Stay Fly."
Paul was booked and is scheduled to be released Monday (Oct. 16) morning.
