Flavor Flav was arrested in Las Vegas on a string of charges this past Thursday (May 21). Among the indictments were DUI and possession of marijuana, as well as speeding and driving with a suspended license.

The Public Enemy rapper was reportedly scheduled to make an appearance on The Damon Elliott Show but failed to make it after being pulled over by the Nevada Highway Patrol at 12:30 am local time, according to TMZ.

Mike Tyson, who was also on the show, decided to report the news to the viewers, making a revelation while doing so.
