(Gossip-Grind News) Naughty By Nature’s Treach Arrested:

Naughty By Nature’s Anthony “Treach” Criss was arrested yesterday in Union City,NJ. The Grammy-Award winning rapper was charged with eluding police after being given a signal to stop.

NJ.com reports:

Criss, of Massachusetts, made his first court appearance on the charge today in Central Judicial Processing court in Jersey City, where his bail was set at $15,000 cash or bond. Before posting bail he will have to take care of some child support issues and other matters, officials said.

Criss operated a motor vehicle on a street or highway and attempted to elude law enforcement officers after being given a signal to stop, the criminal complaint says, adding that Criss drove nine blocks in a high traffic area at a high rate of speed.

Union City Police Chief Richard Molinari said at 7:30 p.m. officers were checking car speeds with radar at Kennedy Boulevard at 18th Street when Criss blew past them in his Cadillac Escalade doing 55-miles-per-hour in the 25-mile-per-hour zone.

When the officers pulled out to stop Criss he hit the gas heading north on the Boulevard, flying through four red lights before finally stopping on the Boulevard at 29th Street, Molinari said. Upon stopping, Criss jumped out of his vehicle and ran to the police car and the officers drew their weapons and ordered him to return to his vehicle, Molinari said.

Criss was irate and belligerent at first but later complied with the officers’ orders, Molinari said, adding that he was cited for reckless driving, speeding and driving while suspended.
