Rapper and reality TV star Flavor Flav was recently detained by New York State police in Valley Stream, New York for speeding and being in possession of a small amount of marijuana.
Flav, whose real name is William Drayton, was allegedly clocked doing 79 mph in a 55 mph zone, but the rapper had a good, albeit sad reason for speeding: he was on his way to his mother’s funeral.
His mother, Anna Drayton, passed away on December 31.
Thankfully, the cops had somewhat of a heart and released Flavor on an appearance ticket so that he could get to his mother’s funeral.
He is due back in court to formally answer to the charges on January 28.
