Taboo, a member of the hip-hop group Black Eyed Peas, was arrested on DUI charges last night after he crashed his car about 20 miles east of Los Angeles.
According to police, Taboo aka Jaime Luis Gomez, was cited for possession of less than an ounce of marijuana, possession of a prescribed medication without a prescription, and driving under the influence.
Taboo was booked at the Los Angeles County Sheriff Industry Station's jail at 1:51 PM and released a few hours later on $5,000 bail.
No court date has been set.

I don't understand....
All of these people are getting stopped for DUI's, drugs.....wouldn't it just make sense to get a driver? Rent a limo.....Pay a driver? This way, you can drink, smoke, snort......while someone else makes sure they don't run anyone over......
HOLLYWOOD is a DISGRACE.....

Damn, another celebrity DUI.
WTF is going on that these people have to get behind the wheel after too much partying?
He'll pay a fine, go into rehab and get probation.
He's not black, so I'm sure there won't be any racial comments today.

I know.
Whenever there is a story regarding a black person, the "n" word comes out and things get ugly. I'm curious to see if that will happen with this story.

It's funny that Taboo (and the Peas) are always boasting that they are a "positive hip-hop group". Great role model.
