Pitbull Beats DUI Charge

Pitbull’s claims that he was “erroneously arrested” in December of 2007 on DUI charges have been validated, as the rapper was found not guilty of DUI charges today (July 09).

The rapper went on trial yesterday (July 08) for an incident in 2007, when he was arrested for traveling 93 MPH on the Palmetto Expressway.

The police report claimed Pitbull, born Armando Perez, failed a number of field sobriety tests, after officers smelled alcohol on his breath.

The Cuban-American rapper took the stand and told the jurors that he was targeted because he is a celebrity, despite the fact that the arresting officer clocked him traveling at 93 MPH.

The arresting officer claimed that Pitbull refused to exit his Mercedes-Benz and when he finally did, he failed field sobriety tests.

Pitbull had refused to take a “Breathalyzer” test and according to testimony, the incident was not caught on the arresting officers dash board camera.

After three hours of deliberating, jurors found Pitbull not guilty.
