Dizzee Rascal arrested over baseball bat
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 15 December 2008
Dizzee Rascal was arrested this weekend over a possible road rage incident involving a baseball bat.
The rapper, real name Dylan Mills, was arrested on Friday afternoon in Orpington and charged with possession of an offensive weapon, that being the aforementioned bat.
It’s thought Mills may have threatened another driver with the bat during some kind of on road altercation, though details are a bit vague.
The rapper was held overnight before being released on Saturday, and is due to return to a south London police station later this month, possibly to face charges.
A police spokesman told reporters: “A 24-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of being in possession of an offensive weapon. He has been bailed until later this month”.
