Police Arrested Flavor Flav On Misdemeanor Domestic Battery Charge

Police arrested the member of Public Enemy, Flavor Flav, in Nevada for domestic battery earlier this month. A report from TMZ states that the Henderson PD arrested the rapper on October 4th.

Flav’s Domestic Battery Charges

Police responded to a domestic disturbance call and arrived at the crime scene around 11:40 pm. Flav ended up in Henderson Detention Center, where the law enforcement booked and officially charged him.

Flavor Flav allegedly poked his finger on the victim’s nose, grabbed and threw her down on an unknown surface. The reason for Flav’s actions was supposedly getting the phone out of the victim’s hand.

The rapper’s attorney, David Chesnoff, told TMZ that “in alleged domestic violence cases, there are often two sides to the story, and we will explain our side in the courtroom and not in the media.”

Flav’s Year Of Sobriety

October 19th marks Flavor Flav’s year of sobriety. He posted on Instagram and capped “1 year up [sober]…lotz more to go.” Flav also “pray[s] my whole family will be walkin the same path I am.”

Various starts congratulated Flav on his anniversary. The Roots’ Questlove commented, “Proud of you bro.” Xzibit sent congrats as well, “Love you G!! You’re one of my hero’s. Glad you are feeling powerful in your sobriety. Keep going,”

“There is a quote from Flav’s legal team, as well as one from his management team with regards to the 1-year-mark of his sobriety,” Flav’s manager said. “October 19th marks his official one-year mark of no alcohol, along with 15 months of no cigarettes and 13 years of no hard drugs.”

Public Enemy Reunion?

A month ago, Flav also commented on the possibility of Public Enemy reunion. “There’s some things that Chuck D needs to work out with me,” Flav stated. “Once he comes up to the table and signs this partnership agreement, then we can work. If he doesn’t sign this partnership agreement, then we ain’t working.

Chuck D, the other PE member, responded to that. “Come on y’all, this is tired and stupid,” Chuck commented. “Flav and I communicate on our own, so I normally don’t address these things in public, but I’m tired of the circus of airing news that ain’t news.”
