DJ Clue Facts

He had been pulled up by a team of cops at a checkpoint in Varick Street in Greenwich village late in the night after it had been alleged that he had been using a suspended driving license. It was later revealed that his license had been suspended at least 8 times by then but he had continued to illegally use it. When the cops had searched through his car, they had also found 3 pills wrapped up in tin foil and he was also charged with illegal possession of drugs.
