Justice Martin Burns told the court Kairouz became ‘animated’ and his female passenger was not wearing a seatbelt.
According to Tweed Daily News, this is not the first time Kairouz was caught up with the law as he was caught in a high-profile police raid by Taskforce Maxima.
Footage of police storming his apartment was released by police who allege they seized drugs and cash with some hidden in new pairs of new Nike shoes.
He pleaded guilty in 2016 for possessing cocaine, testosterone and diazepam, as well as having a pair of locking handcuffs which he allegedly bought from a sex shop.
