Kimora Lee Simmons, wife of hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons, faces drug and motor vehicle charges after police said she was driving erratically and ignored the flashing lights of a cruiser for nearly two miles.

The 29-year-old Simmons was arrested just after midnight Monday outside the couple's estate in Saddle River, N.J., according to published reports.

Saddle River police and a spokeswoman for Ms. Simmons didn't immediately return messages left by The Associated Press Thursday.

She was charged with eluding an officer, possessing marijuana, careless driving and operating a vehicle while possessing a drug.
