Frank Ocean has been arrested for a number of minor traffic offences, quashing US gossip that he had been enaging in 'suspicious behaviour' with a male friend in his car.
US website MediaTakeOut reported on 1 January 2012 that Ocean was pulled over for what a source described as 'suspicious behaviour' and implied the Channel Orange star had been engaged in sexual acts with a male companion.
The official police report however, reveals Ocean and his friend were pulled over for more routine reasons - including speeding, driving on a suspended license and what US radio station V-103 describe as 'tinted window violation'.
An official police statement, also published on the V-103 website, reads:
"On 12/31/2012 at approximately 1630 hours, Officer E. Moore, #20190, was in full CHP winter uniform, and driving a black and white departmental sedan (Class E). Officer Moore was stopped facing northbound in the center median of US-395, north of Tom’s Place monitoring traffic. Officer Moore observed a black BMW driving southbound on US-395 exceeding the 65 MPH maximum speed limit.
"Officer Moore accelerated his patrol vehicle in order to follow the BMW, and then observed a marked patrol unit from the Mono County Sheriff’s Department making an enforcement stop on the BMW. After the Mono County Sheriff’s Department unit stopped the BMW, Officer Moore stopped to provide any necessary assistance."

At the end of 2012, Ocean hinted that he was facing a legal challenge from his own father, saying that his dad was planning to sue him for a million dollars.
he 'Channel Orange' singer tweeted: "Father wanna sue me for a million. Like I owe him back child support. Weak individual bought me a swiss knife at 6yrs old then dipped on me."
The emotive tweet has since been deleted, but a second tweet about his father still remains. The second reads: "I got his DNA though, maybe I inherited some of his karma too."
