King Harris, son of musician T.I., has been arrested for failing to appear in court for a traffic violation.
Reports indicate that the rapper, born Clifford “King” Joseph Harris III, was moving out of a gas station in a BMW but nearly hit an officer’s vehicle, which prompted the officer to pull him over.
The officer was said to have smelled marijuana and also noticed a gun on his hip. Further checks by the officer indicated that King had a warrant for his arrest in another county for failing to appear in court over a previous vehicle violation.
Two other persons who were in the vehicle with King were also charged with possessing small ounces of marijuana.
In August 2022, King was charged with “speeding, knowingly driving a motor vehicle on a suspended license and driving under the influence of drugs.”
