Rapper Flavor Flav Arrested For Domestic Battery

Flavor Flav found himself back in the slammer earlier this month following a domestic violence incident.

According to TMZ, the rapper and reality star was arrested in Nevada on Oct. 5 by the Henderson PD. The Public Enemy co-founder was booked on a misdemeanor charge of domestic battery.

The criminal complaint obtained by TMZ states that Flav allegedly poked his finger on the alleged victim’s nose, threw her down, and grabbed a phone out of her hand. The City Attorney reportedly confirmed that Flavor Flav has been charged with misdemeanor battery constituting domestic violence.

However, Flavor Flav’s attorney David Chesnoff told the news site that “in alleged domestic violence cases, there are often 2 sides to the story and we will explain our side in the courtroom and not in the media.” No further details were shared on the incident.

Meanwhile, this might come as a little shock to some of his fans as the entertainer seemed to be doing well.

Flavor Flav’s manager even told TMZ that Tuesday will mark one year of sobriety from alcohol for Flav. His rep added that it’s been 15 months since he quit smoking cigarettes.
