Former rapper and current fried chicken restaurant owner, Flavor Flav, 56 yrs old, whose real name is William Jonathan Drayton, Jr plead no contest to misdemeanor DUI charge; this is the 2nd time in 2 weeks involving such a plea in Nevada.
He also pleaded no contest Jan. 25 in suburban Henderson to having marijuana metabolite in his system when he was found asleep in the front seat of a vehicle on the side of a street in August, defense attorney Dayvid Figler said.
Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Suzan Baucum fined Drayton $685 — the same amount he had been fined in Henderson — and ordered him to attend a victim impact panel and drunken driving school to satisfy plea requirements in both cases.
The Las Vegas case stemmed from the Nevada Highway Patrol stopping him for speeding May 21 not far from McCarran International Airport. Misdemeanor speeding and open container charges were dropped Monday as part of the plea.
Another defense attorney, Kristina Wildeveld, said the rapper is trying to adjust to life without a driver's license.
