More than a week after celebrating the soon-to-be-arrival of his first child, T.I.’s son, King Harris, was sitting in the backseat of a police vehicle.
Earlier this week, the 19-year-old was arrested by Dunwoody police in Georgia after nearly hitting an officer’s vehicle as they were coming out of a gas station, according to WSB-TV.
Shortly after, officers turned their car around and stopped Harris, who was driving a BMW. When they approached his vehicle, they smelled marijuana, but they also noticed that Harris had a gun on his hip. It was at that moment that they asked the young rapper to put his hands on the wheel while they checked if he had any outstanding warrants.
They found that he was wanted in Pickens County for failure to appear in court, leading to Harris being taken away in handcuffs.
In the incident report, the arrested officers stated, “I informed Mr. Harris that I would need to speak with him outside and opened the driver-side door. Mr. Harris was cooperative, and I removed the firearm from his hip with no issue. I then had Mr. Harris step out of the vehicle and I detained him by placing handcuffs on him. I escorted Mr. Harris to my patrol vehicle, conducted a pat down, and placed him into the rear of my vehicle.”
Two other people were also in the vehicle; and one of them was cited for marijuana possession but was not arrested, according to WSB-TV.
This comes just weeks after T.I. and Boosie Badazz warned their sons about flashing firearms in their music video.
In a clip that made the rounds on social media at the end of September, the two veteran artists are seen confronting their sons, asking them,”Why y’all got so much guns, bro? Why y’all always gotta have guns?”
It seems King Harris didn’t listen to his pops.
