Veteran West Coast rapper Too Short was arrested yesterday morning (August 27) in Las Vegas on DUI charges.

TMZ reports that Short Dog was put in cuffs at 4 a.m on Thursday after the Las Vegas Metro Police found the 43-year-old rapper speeding. According to police reports TS was under the influence of alcohol and possessed a small amount of marijuana in his car.

This is not the first time Short Dog haqs been popped for a DUI. Three months ago he was busted on the same charge, also in Vegas.

He is reportedly still behind bars. –Max G

    Considering that it’s Too Short that we’re talking about here, it makes me wonder if the “Burning Rubber” phrase is a double-entendre of sorts (pause). I know that I have, while listening to his tracks, over the years. (Ha!)

      He had a song called Burnin Rubber (Shittin On Em) a couple of years ago.

    Dam Short Dog got busted! Every time I see Too Short. The first thing I think about is Freaky Tales! The Song that put him on the Map. DUI Charge ain’t no big deal. I glad he did not hurt nobody or somebody hurt him in accident. I will always be a Short fan. Pimp and Macker all in one man. The rest of ya’ll take notes.

    You know you’re getting old(er) when a picture of a rapper you grew up listening to looks more like your Grandfather than your homeboy.

    This flick does him no justice; you’ve got to see the mugshot.
