Faith Evans Arrested For DUI

[img:$uid]http://i37.tinypic.com/23jq2yc.jpg[/img:$uid]

August 22, 2010

Singer Faith Evans was arrested Saturday night after being stopped at a drunken driving checkpoint near Marina del Rey.

The Grammy-winning Evans was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor drunken driving, said Los Angeles police Sgt. Felipe Vasquez of the West Traffic Division.

The checkpoint was set up at Washington and Lincoln boulevards, Vasquez said. Evans showed signs of being under the influence of alcohol, he said.

Evans was held for about four hours and released, according to Vasquez. Her car was impounded, he said.

The 37-year-old singer is known as the widow of rapper Christopher Wallace, also known as The Notorious B.I.G. She won a Grammy in 1998 for her tribute to Wallace called “I’ll Be Missing You.”

In 2004, Evans and record company executive Todd Russaw were arrested and charged with possession of marijuana and cocaine after a traffic stop in an Atlanta suburb. As a result, the two ended up spending 13 weeks in an addiction treatment program.

A reality series chronicling her life is reportedly in the works, and a new album is scheduled for release in October, according to online sources.

she better say her prayers on this one, new laws are going into effect very soon where DUI arrests could be treated as "attempted murders". Which i say is LONG overdue, if your drunk and you drive you might as well be walking around shooting at people.

Well, it is time for her new project to drop. Isn't it time for a bit of controversy?

Faith Evans Comments On DUI Arrest

August 2010

Confirming that she was indeed pulled over and arrested by LAPD at a DUI check point, R&B singer Faith Evans took to Twitter to update her fans on the incident.

“Hi Faithfuls…I am on the set of my new video for my single “Gone Already,”” she writes Sunday Night.

“I’m sure by now most of you heard that I was detained on suspicion of a DUI. After completing a full day of wardrobe prep I was stopped at a random checkpoint. I’m fine and well, and thank you for your prayers, kind words and concerns. I can’t wait for you all to see my new video & look forward to hearing from you guys…Fizzy.”

Evans was arrested and booked at a DUI checkpoint near the Marina Del Rey section of L.A. on late Saturday night after officers detected alcohol.

MIDI's cover should know that one, if they were paying attention to music during the Velvet Rope era.

She a damned fool. The news always lets out where the DUI checkpoints will be the night before. Unless yo ass don't watch a lick of television or read the paper....you will know where the checkpoints will be.

Can't help thinking this is to keep her name out there so folk can get ready to watch that hot mess reality series of hers. Bet it will air after Trey Songz wack ass show. Or maybe after that Keith Sweat Dru Hill bullshit.

Its nice that at no point does she apologize for her actions, not that she has too, but you were basically behind the wheel drunk and could have killed someone, case closed, regardless of who you are its the same difference. What brainwashed asshole fans are praying for her? Its one thhing if you are an alcoholic struggling to kick the habit and shit, and cant get past it, but the bitch got loaded and drove, fuck her and her new video.
