What Led to GloRilla's Arrest?
Based on a police report, obtained by TMZ, police pulled over a vehicle that made a U-turn at a red light around 4 a.m. yesterday morning. GloRilla, who admitted to drinking that night, insisted that she was OK to drive. Police administered a field sobriety test, which TMZ claims Glo was "shaky on, especially staying on her feet." The Memphis rapper was also asked to do series of DUI tests including an eye-follow test, walk-and-turn, one-leg balance and walking in a straight line. Glo apparently failed all of the DUI tests and refused a breathalyzer. Amid all of this, police also note that GloRilla experienced a wardrobe malfunction as well, with her breast slipping out of her clothing.
GloRilla was ultimately arrested, as mentioned, and an associate came to retrieve her vehicle.
