No, this isn’t something you’d see on Animal Planet, rapper Pitbull (a.k.a. name Armando Perez) has been arrested for driving under the influence. We hate to follow one DUI story with another, but we guess it’s just that time of year. Reports TMZ:
According to the police report obtained by TMZ, Perez was stopped after flying past a marked cop car in his silver Mercedes, doing 93 mph in a 55 zone. At first, the rapper wouldn’t get out of the car, and when he did, the officer writes that he “could detect a strong breath odor of alcohol over the gum he was chewing,” that Pitbull’s speech was rapid and slurred and his eyes were bloodshot.Results of the sobriety test weren’t pretty either: he couldn’t do the finger-to-nose touch, he was swaying, and basically mangled the “walk and turn” portion of the test, losing his balance, stepping off line and starting without being told to do so.
TMZ also claims that Pitbull allegedly yelled repeatedly to officers “This is a big waist [sic] of time your time papo.”
The rapper was then booked and his bail was set at a modest $1000.
Check out TMZ for the arrest report, video (including Pitbull laughing off the incident) and more developments on this story.
