It's been a rough couple of weeks for William Jonathan Drayton Jr., better known as Flavor Flav. On Friday night, he was arrested in Las Vegas after being pulled over by police for a routine traffic stop. But Flav later said that he was pulled over by a rookie cop who wanted to make a name for himself.

According to TMZ, the rapper had several traffic violations that were unpaid, leading to outstanding warrants for his arrest. The four tickets were all unrelated and include a ticket for a parking violation, two for driving without a license and one for not having insurance. "I was on my way home from Benihana's I got pulled over by a curious Rookie Ass Cop," Flav tweeted. "He found out I had a traffic warrant wanted to make a name for himself took me in and now I'm home laying my bed what's the big deal?!"

Flav was taken to a nearby jail but has since been released. "At least, I cleared up my sh*t ... some people are still on the run!" he later said via twitter.

Flav's recent arrest adds to the list of troubles he's been going through with regards to his chicken business. His Iowa chicken restaurant, Flavor Flav's Fried Chicken was closed after only four months. First, employees accused Flav of bouncing checks. Then, his former partner called him a "fraud," saying he didn't contribute much to the business. According to reports, Flav is opening another restaurant called Flavor Flav's House Of Flavor.
