Busta Rhymes Arrested for DWI

by: Julianne Shepherd

Less than a week before his trial for assault, Busta is arrested again.

Busta Rhymes was arrested under suspicion of drunk driving early Thursday morning, after being stopped for driving an SUV with "overly tinted windows." The arresting officers reported they smelled alcohol on Busta's breath, and charged him with driving while impaired. The rapper is scheduled to stand trial on two seperate assault charges Tuesday. In February, he was pulled over and arrested for driving with a suspended license two days after striking a plea agreement in the assault charges. The agreement was subsequently revoked.
