730 Dips Affiliate King Tut Arrested On Drug Charges

Fort Lee, New Jersey police officers arrested Darnell "King Tut" Brittingham and Brandon Buckley on drug charges during a motor vehicle stop Wednesday night. Sources state Officer Dennis Pothos stopped the pair for several motor vehicle violations at approximately 9:30 p.m. on Route 46 in New Jersey.
