(Gossip-Grind News) Rocko Da Don Arrested:

Rocko Da Don was arrested Friday in Monroe County, Georgia. Rocko, real name Rodney Ramone Hill Jr., and Jason Wright were arrested after they were allegedly seen racing up Interstate 75 in a Rolls Royce and a BMW. Rocko was driving the late-model Rolls Royce when authorities pulled him over.

Hill, 36, was not cited for speeding because the cars had slowed considerably when deputies spotted them, Freeman said. But Hill, also known as Rocko Da Don, was arrested on a pair of charges that included driving with a suspended license.

The driver of a BMW that had been heading north with Hill kept going at speeds in excess of 150 mph, Freeman said.

Deputies found the BMW backed in at a gas station at the Johnsonville Road exit, a few miles north of the Georgia Public Safety Training Center.

Its driver, Jason Philbert Wright, 26, of Decatur, faces felony fleeing-and-eluding charges and a string of traffic violations, a jail official said.

Rolls Royces like the one he was said to be driving Friday cost about $500,000. But the license plate on it had expired and Hill was cited.

“You’d think a man with a Rolls Royce could afford a tag. But apparently not,” Freeman said.

When Wright, the guy in the Beemer, didn’t stop, the deputy who had pulled over Hill gave chase, Freeman said.

Hill later showed up at the Johnsonville Road exit — apparently to check on Wright, who was in custody, Freeman said.

By then, deputies had learned that Hill’s license was suspended and that his tag had expired, and they arrested him, Freeman said. (The Telegraph)

Hill paid a $784 cash bond and was released.
