Puerto Rico police say reggaeton rapper Julio Voltio has been arrested on charges of driving while intoxicated and speeding.

Police spokesman Lt. Carlos Camacho Santiago says officers pulled over Voltio in a gray BMW on Sunday when they spotted him driving 62 mph (99 kph) in a 50 mph (80 kph) zone in the coastal town of Luquillo.

Camacho alleges the suspect's blood-alcohol level was at 0.08 percent, just over the legal limit.

Voltio, whose real name is Julio Ramos Filomeno, could not be reached. It was not clear whether he has a lawyer.

Voltio is a fixture of Puerto Rico's homegrown reggaeton genre — a mix of tropical rhythms, reggae and rap with a large following in the U.S.
