Dr. Jan Adams, the plastic surgeon who operated on Kanye West's mother before she died has been arrested on suspicion of drunken driving in Solano County.
Adams was booked into jail early Thursday morning after the California Highway Patrol caught him attempting to enter southbound Interstate 680 by driving the wrong way on an off-ramp shortly after 2:30 a.m.
Authorities were alerted when motorists had called in to report the driver of a gray Jaguar going the wrong way on the freeway.
Adams also was arrested for driving on a suspended license from a March 2006 DUI conviction. The TV show TMZ and TMZ.com say Adams was also arrested on a DUI charge in September 2002.
Adams made headlines last year after Donda West died Nov. 10 while recovering from breast reduction, tummy tuck and liposuction procedures he performed on her a day earlier.
An autopsy report found that West likely died of heart disease coupled with complications after plastic surgery.
