We reported yesterday about DJ Clue, a Power 105.1 deejay and radio show host, who was arrested for driving with a suspended license as well as a drug charge, after being stopped at a routine checkpoint. The DJ has since been released, and his lawyer denies the allegations against him.
DJ Clue's lawyer, Xavier Donaldson, maintains he's innocent, and released the following brief statement, "He [DJ Clue] doesn't drive around with a suspended licence nor does he drive around with any illegal items."
No court date has been set yet, but it sounds like DJ Clue will be fighting the charges against him.
