Rhymes arrested on drink-driving charge

Busta Rhymes was arrested on a drunken driving charge in New York early today, police said, marking the latest in a series of recent legal troubles for the US rapper.

Police stopped Rhymes at about 12.40am (5.40am Irish time) because the sport utility vehicle he was driving had overly tinted windows, said Sgt. Mike Wysokowski. He said officers then smelled alcohol on the rapper’s breath.
