70-Year-Old Comedy Legend Busted: Shocking Drug Possession Arrest Details Inside!

BBG News

On Friday, it was reported by law enforcement officials that renowned comedian Paul Rodriguez was taken into custody due to allegations of drug possession.

In Burbank, California, a well-known comedian and actor, aged 70, was stopped by the police due to a traffic infraction, according to reports from TMZ.

It appears the exact nature of the infraction is not fully understood, yet sources speaking with TMZ suggest that during a traffic stop, authorities reportedly searched Rodriguez’s car and are said to have found illegal substances within it.

Rodriguez was apprehended and detained over minor drug possession allegations. However, it’s reported that he will soon be freed from jail.

This incident comes amid a challenging period for the comedian. 

Last November, I found myself grappling with an unbearable loss when my dearest friend, Donald Serrato, took his final breath within the walls of my Los Angeles residence, due to natural circumstances.

Additionally, in 2021, the comedian underwent quadruple bypass surgery.

At the time of his passing, Serrato had temporarily moved into Rodriguez’s home in the Los Angeles region, as he had recently sold his house in Torrance and was preparing to relocate to Montana.

According to law enforcement officials, it’s believed that Serrato passed away due to natural reasons, with no indication of drug involvement or any suspicious circumstances.

In those days, I couldn’t help but ponder if Serrato’s rumored excessive drinking and smoking, coupled with the deep sorrow he carried from the losses within his family, might have played a role in his downfall. It’s something that still lingers in my thoughts.

He shared that he departed from home around 6 am on Thursday for a movie set, and later called Serrato around noon to arrange lunch together.

Despite not getting a response to his phone call, he reached out to Serrato’s girlfriend instead, who subsequently went to check on him at his house. He shared this information with TMZ.

In this situation, emergency responders went to Rodriguez’s residence where they discovered Serrato, who was later declared deceased at the location.

Emergency services were called to Rodriguez’ house and found Serrato, who tragically passed away on site.

Both sentences convey the same information but aim for a more natural and easy-to-read style.

Born in the Mexican state of Sinaloa, Rodriguez later moved with his family to Compton, where he’s been making people laugh for over forty years as a comedian.

He frequently performs at comedy clubs, and his photo hangs among the select few comics featured on the walls of the legendary Comedy Store in LA.

Back in the ’80s, I couldn’t believe my luck when I got to star in my very own sitcom, “a.k.a. Pablo,” straight out of the gate in my acting career. However, the show was only on for a brief six episodes before it was sadly taken off the air. It still holds a special place in my heart as my first big role!

Over time, audiences have enjoyed his appearances on popular TV shows such as The Golden Girls, Touched by an Angel, and The Twilight Zone.

Apart from that, he’s provided voices for various animated shows such as King of the Hill, Dora the Explorer, The Proud Family, and the movie Cats & Dogs: The Revival of Kitty Galore.

Rodriguez has appeared in films such as Clint Eastwood’s 2002 movie, Blood Work, and the 2021 adaptation, Clifford The Big Red Dog.

His son, often known as P-Rod online, is a renowned skateboarder named Paul Rodriguez. On platforms like Instagram, he has more than a million followers.
