Coolio was arrested in Las Vegas for traffic violations on Friday, TMZ reports. While riding shotgun in a Nissan, policed stopped the car for what was reportedly a routine stop. Although he wasn’t driving, Coolio caught the officer’s attention by having two outstanding tickets to his name, enough to warrant a trip to prison. At $5,850 bail, the rapper is currently being held in Clark County Detention Center, the same facility where his 22-year-old son Grtis Ivey has been held since his November 2011 arrest. Ivey is facing multiple charges, including robbery with a deadly weapon, first degree kidnapping and grand larceny, after he and a woman named Shantrice Wilkerson, reportedly a prostitute, entered a Las Vegas apartment with a gun, forced the resident into the bathroom and stole existing possessions. Ivey is being held without bail and scheduled to meet with a judge on Monday. No court date has been set for the elder Ivey. But if overcrowding is such a problem in our penal system, maybe music stars should starting getting someone to pay their traffic violations in a timely manner? We’re looking at you, X.
