Fashion powerhouse Kimora Lee Simmons faces various charges after eluding police. Saddle River police say she was handcuffed and taken into custody after she finally pulled over in front of her residence. According to authorities, she is charged with possession of marijuana, eluding a police officer, careless driving, operating a vehicle while possessing a controlled substance, tailgating and driving with a tail light out. The 29-year old model was fingerprinted and posed for a mug shot. Her husband, hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons, is currently at the Democratic National Convention. Published reports quote a friend of the couple who said cops illegally searched the car and that the pot inside belonged to a passenger. Kimora Lee's lawyer, Stacey Richman, says the incident is just 'another example of a prominent member of the hip-hop community being made an example of.'
