Last night after a Thanksgiving Eve bash in Atlanta on the Blackout Music Tour, Christopher Robert Van Den Hoef, or Chris, of the Canadian DJ duo DVBBS was arrested in his Atlanta hotel room for possession of pot. The duo had performed alongside 2Chainz, Jowell & Randy and Popeska. According to reports, their set was played to a pretty sparse crowd due to miscommunication over set times and DVBBS decided to cut their show short. They then returned to their hotel room for their traditional nightcap as leaders of the "Woozy Gang" and were met by some rather unaccommodating police officers.
The duo are not denying the arrest or the allegations and took to social media to explain the situation. According to tweets posted by DVBBS, they were arrested by three cops for having half a joint in their hotel room.
3 cops to arrest someone with a joint in a hotel room making music ... makes sense

I guess having half a doobie in your hotel room makes you a criminal #freechrischroniclee — DVBBS (@DVBBS) November 27, 2014
there are murderers, rapists and real dangerous drug dealers on the streets all around us and it takes 3 cops ... Common

The duo do not seem apologetic about the situation at all or really appreciate the magnitude of being arrested on a drug charge in a state that is not too friendly to drug possession. They quoted their song "We Were Young" on Facebook in all caps "WE WERE YOUNG / WE WERE DUMB/ WE WOULD DO IT ALL AGAIN."
This will probably be a Thanksgiving they will remember for a long time. Now it appears Alex, the other half, will have to fly down to Australia to begin the Stereosonic tour without Chris.
