When the officers approached his vehicle, Maxwell presented them with an expired license at which point they believed he was intoxicated. A field sobriety test found that Maxwell was just over the legal limit with a .09 blood alcohol content.
Maxwell racked up 15 total charges for the late-night driving incident. The 26-year-old rapper faces charges of DUI, drag racing, reckless endangerment, speeding and operating a vehicle without a valid license.
Fetty Wap is best known for his hit song “Trap Queen,” which made it all the way up to the No. 2 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 back in 2015. He later won the award for Best New Artist at the Billboard Music Awards for the breakout hit.
