…OR, WHAT DO YOU KNOW, THEY ACTUALLY HAVE BASEBALL BATS IN ENGLAND, AND, COLOR ME OBLIVIOUS ON THIS ONE, BUT FURTHER RESEARCH BY THE SATURDAY SWINDLE SHEET HAS UNCOVERED THAT THE BRITISH ACTUALLY INVENTED THE DAMN SPORT OVER TWO HUNDRED YEARS AGO
British grime-rapper Dizzee Rascal was arrested last Friday while driving in London after allegedly threatening another motorist with a baseball bat, in an incident that is being attributed to a case of severe road rage.
Police were called to the scene of the incident on a main street in Orpington, a borough located in Southeast London, around 3:30 in the afternoon. Rascal (né Dylan Mills), apparently upset because of something the other motorist had done, had gotten out of his vehicle at a traffic light, took a baseball bat out of it, and approached the person’s vehicle while shouting profanity and brandishing the bat in a threatening manner. There was no report of injury to the other motorist or damage to his/her vehicle. Mills was taken to a local police station where he was booked and later released. BBC News reports that he’ll have a court date later in the month.
Mills had been involved in other car-related shenanigans in 2005, though that time he was arrested when police found pepper spray and an illegal firearm on his person during a traffic stop.
When asked to comment on the situation, rapper DMX was unable to comment because he was in jail, yet again. Yes, that right, folks. DMX was arrested for probably like the thirteenth time this year, last week, this time for having skipped out on a court appearance in Arizona. The rapper (né Earl Simmons) was found at the former home of Scott Storch, in Miami, after a woman tipped off authorities as to his whereabouts in order to collect a $5000 FBI-issued reward. A bench warrant had been issued after Simmons failed to show up to face charges of animal abuse, drug possession, theft of services, identity theft and putting the ram in the ram-a-lamma-ding-dong.
