**‘Black Ink Crew’ Star Richard ‘O Sh*t’ Duncan Arrested Following DUI, Alcohol, & Possession Of Cocaine**

Richard ‘O Sh*t’ Duncan’s traffic stop resulted in his arrest.

Back in July, Black Ink Crew star Richard Duncan was stopped by Georgia police for a DUI after police pulled him over for speeding. According to the incident report, police said Richard Duncan smelled of alcohol and they conducted a field sobriety exam. Duncan admitted to drinking, following police searching his vehicle. Authorities discovered a bag of cocaine in the center of the cupholder.

According to reports, the former reality TV star was charged with speeding, DUI, driving with an open container of alcohol and possession of a controlled substance. With one felony charge and the rest being misdemeanors, Duncan has pleaded not guilty. Duncan has battled alcohol and substance abuse over the years. In a lengthy caption on Instagram, he shared:

“I need to be honest and transparent with my IG family. I’ve been having a hard time. I was diagnosed as bipolar about 2 years ago and it’s been a hard ass journey navigating the ups and downs of this disease my sobriety journey, being a new business owner- and just LIFE.”

He continued:

“Like most people who suffer from bipolar disorder, there are times u go through manic episodes, depressed episodes and sadly become inconsistent with my meds and self/care. When I’m in a bad place, I don’t always make the best choices and consequently Ive hurt and let down a lot of people I love in the process. That shit eats me up and I hate it.”

He elaborated:

“Last month I did something really stupid during a manic episode and consequently, got a DUI. I do not condone drinking and driving, drug use or acting out- mental illness or not. I did something that was so dumb, pointless and honestly embarrassing. I can’t promise perfection but the first step is accountability and honesty and I’m working on both. I openly accept the consequences of my actions and I am actively working with my doctors, therapists and group to get back on track. I’m sorry to everyone i let down. I am looking forward to active recovery, sobriety and a fresh start.”
