Flavor Flav to Stand Trial for Assault, Child Endangerment
Flavor Flav will stand trial for felony charges of assault with a weapon and child endangerment. A Las Vegas judge has ruled that there is enough evidence to support claims that the Public Enemy hype man threatened his girlfriend’s 17-year-old son with a butcher knife last fall, USA Today reports.
Flavor Flav – real name William Jonathan Drayton Jr. – is expected to plead not guilty at the arraignment, which is scheduled for April 18th. He did not speak during yesterday’s evidence hearing, though the adolescent did.
