Rapper Flo Rida was arrested in Miami Beach early this morning for driving under the influence of alcohol.
The Miami Beach Police Department says the 31-year-old Flo Rida was driving around in his red and black 2008 Bugatti — valued around $1.7 million — when cops observed the rapper swerving in his lane and pulled him over around 3:30 AM, according to TMZ. According to the police report, a large crowd gathered around Flo after cops had pulled him over.
Several bystanders were “trying to get officers to let [Flo Rida] go. Some individuals were offering to drive [Flo] home.”
When the officer tried to conduct a “walk the line” test — Flo told the cop, “Officer I can’t do this. I don’t feel I can walk a straight line. I had a few drinks. Let’s try another test.”
Flo then tried to convince the officer, “I can make it home.” Cops didn’t let him try.

Cops say they ran a computer check on Flo — and cited the rapper when they learned his driver’s license had been suspended last month for failing to pay a traffic fine.
Flo Rida, whose real name is Tramar Dillard, was arrested on suspicion of DUI and taken to a nearby station and booked a police report that his blood alcohol level was .185 … more than twice the legal limit.
The rapper remains behind bars as of press time and bail has been set at $2,000.
