Rapper Jim Jones was arrested in NYC yesterday for driving his Audi with a suspended license. This incident comes just two days after the rapper was jailed by Connecticut police for his involvement in a brawl at the MGM Grand at Foxwoods Resort Casino, where he was a guest at its 20th anniversary party, hosted by Sean (P. Diddy) Combs.

According to state police spokesperson Lieutenant Paul Vance, Jones was charged with second-degree breach of peace, inciting a riot, and resisting arrest following the verbal confrontation turned fist fight involving he and roughly a dozen people. Jones tweeted Saturday, “40k in bonds 1 night, had a ball, lets see (if) I can get th(a)t 40 back on th(e) crap table.” News One reports on the story:

Rapper and reality star Jim Jones was arrested for a second time on Monday for driving with a suspended license, reports TMZ. This latest arrest comes on the heels of another brush with the law, when the renegade rapper reportedly incited a brawl (see video below) last Friday at the famed Foxwoods Resorts Casino in Connecticut.

According to Jones, 35, he was sitting in the passenger seat of his late model black Audi in Harlem, when New York’s Finest told him to move. After the MC reportedly did what he was told, police pulled him over as soon as he moved the vehicle. Once officers checked Jones’ license, they informed him that it had been suspended and arrested him. While Jones claims that the police were respectful this go-round, that wasn’t the case in his earlier arrest.
