Puerto Rican rap star Bryant Myers must be singing the blues ... because we've learned he was arrested for allegedly trying to elude police and speeding over 100 mph in Florida.
A spokesperson for the DeSoto County Sheriff's Office tells TMZ ... Myers was arrested Friday morning and booked into the DeSoto County jail on 4 charges -- one of which is felony fleeing and eluding a law enforcement officer. The spokesperson also said Myers was hit with two misdemeanors -- possession of marijuana less than 20 grams and possession of drug paraphernalia.
According to police, Myers was also booked for operating a vehicle exceeding the speed limit by more than 50 mph in a 60 mph zone -- which we're told means he was going more than 100 mph just before his arrest.
