Miami Beach, FL – Reports have been surfacing across the net that international superstar Flo Rida was arrested early this morning on charges of what appears to be DUI. According to authorities, Flo Rida
was driving around in his red and black 2008 Bugatti, valued around at total of
$1.7 million, when cops apparently observed the artist swerving in his lane and
pulled him over around 3:30 AM. During their stop, police detected the alcohol odor on the artist, so they proceeded to give Flo a field sobriety test, according to additional reports, he didn’t perform too well.

Flo’s blood alcohol level was .185, which is more than twice the legal limit. He was arrested on suspicion of DUI and taken to a nearby station.

According to the further police reports, obtained by TMZ, cops say a large crowd gathered around Flo after cops had pulled him over.

Several bystanders were “trying to get officers to let [Flo Rida] go. Some individuals were offering to drive [Flo] home.”

When the officer tried to conduct a “walk the line” test — Flo told the
cop, “Officer I can’t do this. I don’t feel I can’t walk a straight
line. I had a few drinks. Let’s try another test.”

Flo then tried to convince the officer, “I can make it home.” Cops didn’t let him try.

Cops say they ran a computer check on Flo — and cited the artist when
they learned his driver’s license had been suspended last month for
failing to pay a traffic fine

The fans show of moral support was really amazing.
