According to his arrest report, an officer spotted the 45-year-old rapper’s vehicle on Southwest 128th Avenue just north of 42nd Street, blocking the roadway Saturday.

The officer approached the driver’s side and saw that Trick Daddy appeared to be asleep behind the wheel, the report stated.

Police said Trick Daddy failed a field sobriety test and refused to take a breathalyzer test at the police station.

According to the arrest report, cocaine was found inside a dollar bill as an officer was gathering the rapper’s money to be counted and put away into a bag with his belongings.

The cocaine and dollar bill with residue were confiscated as evidence.

Trick Daddy was then taken to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.
