When Flava Flav does anything, he does it big. Whether it's the clock around his neck, a reality show which has him picking a wife from a harem of woman, or, in the case of an early morning police stop on Thursday morning in Las Vegas, not even a quick stop is simple. When Nevada Highway patrol pulled Flav over, it seemed as if they would be dealing with a simple speeding ticket. His going 73 in a 45 was the least of the Public Enemy hype man's problems because by the time the stop was done he had a slew of charges against him the likes of drug possession and a DUI.

All together, highway patrolman Chelsea Stuenkel says Flav accumulated more than six charges total. Those charges included driving under the influence, speeding, possessing less than an ounce of marijuana, having an open container of alcohol, providing an officer a false registration and driving with a suspended license.

The bail for Flav has been set to $7,000. Of course something like this is familiar territory for the hype man. He has had several run-ins with police officers on the road.

The most recent of which came last year. What was supposed to be an already tough day in Flav's life became a little worse. Right after tragically losing his mother, he was pulled over for speeding on the way to her funeral. To make matters worse, that morning the officer found his license had been suspended 16 times.

After that stop, Flav promised a judge that he wouldn't have these sort of problems anymore. After the Thursday morning speeding romp, it looks like the Hempstead stop wasn't the end of the line for him.

What do you think happens to Flav next?

 Go Green,,,,!
