Get the latest on former Love & Hip Hop Atlanta star Benzino who was arrested on Saturday. Read on to see why Benzino Cries Racial Harassment…
CelebNReality24.com has learned via TMZ that Benzino got busted for failing to appear in court for a traffic violation.
According to law enforcement Benzino parked in the middle of the street outside Atlanta on Saturday, blocking it, so a cop ran his plates.
Unfortunately for Benzino, the car came back with a warrant hit on him because he got ticketed for no insurance back in April and never showed.
The ex-reality star wasn’t having the officers reason for checking his tag and discovering the warrant. Benzino repeatedly said he was being harassed because of his race.
After he started using profanity and kept it going while he was taken to jail, another officer showed up and cuffed him.
TMZ reports that Benzino repeatedly said on the ride to jail, “I am feeling faint” and asked for water.
The cop told him he could get some at the jail, and called an ambulance to check him out upon his arrival.
The report says medical workers spoke to Benzino and he declined a trip to the hospital. He was then taken inside the jail, but there was another issue … he told cops his cuffs were too tight and his wrists hurt.
Cops swapped out his cuffs and they took photos of his wrists. Benzino was then turned over to jail personnel. He was booked for failure to appear and released.
