Porn Star Drake Von
Cops Found Nitrous Oxide Tanks During DUI Bust
Published
Drake Von‘s DUI case is getting a lot more gas behind it … ’cause police say they found multiple nitrous oxide tanks inside his car after a scary crash in Las Vegas.
According to a police report, obtained by TMZ, officers found nitrous oxide tanks — 13 in total — as well as balloons and rubber bands inside the porn star’s Tesla after a crash over the weekend.
The report says the wreck sent everyone involved to the hospital before police arrived. A witness told officers the Tesla pulled out from a Sonic parking lot and collided with a red Kia Soul … and cops say a Sonic employee added that Drake appeared to be slumped over the wheel and looked intoxicated.
When officers later met Drake — whose legal name is Dawson Bacon — at the hospital, they say he had glossy eyes. The officer says Drake denied using alcohol, marijuana, or illegal drugs … but told police he had used nitrous oxide about a month earlier.
Cops say they initially spotted two nitrous oxide containers near the passenger seat in plain view … but claim a subsequent search of the car uncovered even more — four additional large nitrous tanks and seven smaller nitrous tanks in the rear seat area.
The report says Drake declined to voluntarily provide a breath or blood sample, so cops got a warrant and drew his blood at the hospital. Police also requested testing for inhalants.
As TMZ reported, Drake was arrested Saturday on a misdemeanor DUI charge. The arrest came just weeks after he was busted for allegedly trying to strangle his partner … he was charged with two felonies — domestic battery by strangulation and coercion constituting domestic violence with threat or use of physical force, in addition to misdemeanor domestic battery.
