Rapper "Too Short," otherwise known as Todd Shaw, was arrested and charged with DUI and possession of marijuana this morning in Las Vegas. The arrest occurred around 4AM and is the rapper's second in three months.
Las Vegas Police pulled the rapper over for speeding and "exhibition of power." The exhibition of power charge is used when a person is either excessively speeding or intentionally squealing tires, among other obvious displays of a car's engine.
Too Short is currently still in jail according to Las Vegas police. He was found with less than one ounce of marijuana. Nonetheless, Nevada laws state a DUI while in possession of any amount of illegal drugs may be charged as a felony.
Violation of the zero tolerance period will also yield increased penalties for Too Short. Nevada has a seven year period of zero tolerance where a person cannot register a BAC over .02%. There is no word yet on Too Short's exact BAC.
Too Short had a target on his back from an arrest only 3 months prior, and he should not have risked having even one drink then driving. He is certainly wealthy enough to have utilized a cab or car service.
Furthermore, excessive speeding and exhibition of power draw police to pull over a vehicle. The marijuana possession is just the icing on the cake for this arrest.
