Flavor Flav Was Arrested Earlier This Month For Domestic Battery

It looks like 62-year-old Flavor Flav is still at it, and by “it,” I mean being a disorderly mess. TMZ has learned that earlier this month, Flav was arrested for domestic battery after allegedly getting violent with a woman. This just goes to show you that every 5’5″ guy who has a dating reality show isn’t actually a sweet and desirable prince. Who’d have thought?!

The last mugshot we got from Flavor Flav (real name: William Jonathan Drayton, Jr.) was back in 2015 when he was arrested in Las Vegas for a plethora of drug-related misdemeanors like possession and driving under the influence. Well, this time is different but not better, and the former Public Enemy rapper and Brigitte Nielsen’s ex has once again been charged with a misdemeanor in Nevada.

According to law enforcement … the Public Enemy co-founder was booked on a misdemeanor charge of domestic battery on Oct. 5 by the Henderson PD.

We’re told cops responded to a call about a domestic disturbance and when they got there Flav was placed into custody and taken to the Henderson Detention Center.

According to the criminal complaint, obtained by TMZ, Flav allegedly poked his finger on the alleged victim’s nose, grabbed her, threw her down and grabbed a phone out her hand.

The City Attorney tells us Flavor Flav is officially charged with misdemeanor battery constituting domestic violence.

David Chesnoff, the attorney for Flavor Flav, said 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.” Which is not inspiring in the least. But he also said that Flavor has been one year sober and off of cigarettes for the last 15 months.

I know what you’re thinking: This is Flavor sober? Pretty wild. But maybe he’s like Demi Lovato and doing the California Sober thing in Nevada. Although Nevada Sober probably includes hookers and heroin so… hopefully not.
