“That’s where I’m going,” Marrow, 66, replied, seeming increasingly uncomfortable. “I went straight there,” he added, referring to the Department of Motor Vehicles located across the street.
The legendary “Colors” rapper went on to explain that he attempted to update his documents the day before but said “their system was down” preventing him from completing the process.
“You need an appointment to get to the DMV,” the officer replied.
“I don’t need it,” the West Coast artist responded.
“What’s up?” the officer asked. “Because they know me,” Marrow said, prompting a scoff from the police officer, seemingly unaware of the musician and actor’s iconic status.
In an attempt to compromise, Marrow offered to leave the car parked and walk to the DMV, however things changed when the officer wouldn’t budge, insisting he would “tow the car” regardless.
the Law & Order Star became impatient with the police officer’s attitude, causing him to get out of the car. “If I don’t get arrested then I’m getting out of the car. Give me my fucking papers, you motherfucker. Give me my fucking papers,” the star repeated .
“Put this on camera,” Marrow said, looking directly at the officer’s body camera. “Fuck this… I’m one step away from the DMV. You’re a motherfucker,” he repeated. “Let me start recording your stupid sounds,” he reminded, holding up his cell phone.
A sergeant then arrived on the scene and apologized on his officer’s behalf for holding the star up and asked that officer not to write him all four tickets – even though he could only offer a recommendation. recommendation.
The sergeant assured Marrow that his vehicle would not be towed and that the Grammy winner was able to go to work to update his documents, according to Vibe.
